Pros

Some fun and energetic people

Cons

The culture is a make-belief, which existed no more. Many old-timers with real heart for company and worked hard left because of the cultural erosion. Management talks about culture all the time, but they cannot follow. Management is incapable, lacks on the ground knowledge, and hire people who are equally incompetent to lead teams. Team leads will reward those who make them look good, and those who performed will be silenced if they find them a threat. If you want to solve a problem, you are a problem. If you work hard, you are a problem. Pay disparity is high. There is no growth even if you title changes. You will struggle when you get out there as if there is no real experience to take away. Good people will find it hypocritical and leave. If you are white or Indian, you get preferential treatment and higher pay. Tough fact. If you are a talker, you win the game. If you are a hardworker, look elsewhere. Management do not value its people.

Dear former colleague, Thanks for recognising the culture and environment that we have at MoneySmart. We work very hard to bring on board the right type of people and create a culture where people love working together. Regarding business strategy, we try and spend as much time as possible to document and communicate this to everyone because we fully recognise the risks and inefficiencies of a misaligned team. We’re sorry that this wasn’t the experience you had at your time at MoneySmart, we’re taking your feedback onboard and looking into how we ensure that we do better. Thank you. Sincerely, Vinod Nair CEO
