Pros

Fun and friendly colleagues who are very inclusive, they do not mind spending their time to teach you. Outside of work, the colleagues also regularly organise activities on their own for bonding.

Cons

Despite having really good employees, many leave due to unrealistic targets and deadlines. Top management show no sign of respect for any of the staff, using his PhD status to degrade staff of lower qualifications. They do not bother listening to suggestions and will brush staff off even if they made valid points. Some staff are made to use their personal time on weekends to assist the management on their personal tasks without any form of compensation. When there are problems, the management is quick to blame and tend to flare up at employees. Extreme micro-managing similar to communist countries by trying to control every single department's operations and decisions. While they claim to be ethical, the management try to find loopholes. Always threatening the foreign employees, that if they resign (for better opportunities outside), the company will report and file a complaint to the Ministry of manpower so that they will not be able to find jobs in the country next time. Bonus is judged based on whether you come back on weekends, and the number of OT hours you hit. There are a lot of promises made by the management, but when things go wrong, they twist their words and make it sound like you are the one in the wrong. The company claims to be MNC, but search carefully and you will find that there is only 1 country that the company has full operations in. For salary each month, you have to queue up to get your cheque and this is often done after office hours. Rightfully, salary provision is part of HR and should not be using employee's after hours. Salary was not given on time too, and sometimes people wait in vain when the management decides that it is times up to give out salary. There are some people in the company who are dependent on that monthly paycheck, yet the management chooses to give them out at their convenient time, showing that they only care about convenience to themselves, and zero to staff. No career progression at all. The company has a very twisted direction, there is only 1 decision maker in the company and everyone is made to listen to that 1 person, or be questioned everytime. Even if your explanation makes logical sense, it will be tossed aside.

Pros

There was some initial exposure to basic finance tasks such as inventory reporting, cost updates, and data entry. At the start, the team seemed approachable and willing to help.

Cons

My experience turned negative due to a lack of communication, unclear expectations, and unprofessional handling of the internship appraisal. Despite completing my assigned work, I received a failing evaluation without prior warning or any opportunity to understand or address concerns. Attempts to clarify the situation were met with silence, as my direct manager blocked me when I reached out to discuss the appraisal. The workflow was poorly structured, guidance was inconsistent, and there was minimal feedback throughout the internship, making the final outcome feel unexpected and unfair.

Pros

I have been working in JSB for over 7 years. The group companies have about 600 employees in U.S, Europe, Japan including Singapore. We have about 30 persons in JSB and significant proportion work here for many years. In last few years, I noticed there were few new employees failed to catch up with peer expectations and they typically lost their jobs within first two years. No wonder these people wrote misleading reviews with false accusation. For example, myself received salary through bank transfer timely every month.

Cons

Recently I was surprised to see such bad reviews here as a colleague of mine told me. I decided to write this review. The fact is if this company is so bad as portrayed by those one star reviews, it would not be possible to keep so many long-stayed employees that contribute to winning so many international awards and U.S. patents. Last year, we celebrated for winning a prestige Singapore Government’s IPOS agency awards for our contributions in alleviating pandemic. We are not so dumb to stay here that long if this company treats us badly. Well, losing a job in such a prestige company can be painful, but make better common sense to write something sensible and responsibly rather than diverting self-incapability to others.
