FOZL Group Reviews

- Resources are frequently severely constrained in comparison to other mid-tier companies. - Achieving Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can be arduous. They can serve as a distraction rather than a source of motivation, as the primary focus tends to be on devising strategies to attain KPIs rather than completing tasks. Additionally, KPIs can be unrealistic in some instances. - It is challenging to express our thoughts, even when management is receptive to communication. - The employee turnover rate is surprisingly high. The retention rate is low based on observation. This may be attributed to the relatively toxic management style. - Employees are required to wear a blazer at all times during working hours, regardless of the hot and humid weather in Singapore. While it does project a professional image, it is actually somewhat unnecessary and impractical in a dynamic modern society. - Attendance at all meetings is mandatory, even in the absence of any notable reporting from all departments.. - Flexible working arrangements are available, although they appear to be quite limited, except in cases of valid reasons such as childbirth, absence of a caregiver, or emergency situations such as break-ins to one’s residence. Otherwise, employees are expected to be present in the office at all times. - Expect being required to work overtime, regardless of whether it is peak or non-peak seasons. There is a possibility that your superior will have a meeting with you shortly before the end of your workday, and they will expect you to remain in the office until a specific time, even if you have other private matters during that day. - Employees will receive a “gentle” reminder (maybe even a warning letter) when you are late to work, even by a mere few minutes. However, they will not be held accountable if you choose (or are forced) to work overtime. The sole positive aspect is the provision of meal and taxi allowances for overtime work conducted within specific time frames. However, compelling reasons must be presented for such requests. - Some colleagues are overly intrusive and rude. They engage in negative discussions about others behind their backs. It is advisable for them to mind their own affairs and focus on their work instead. - Be cautious about what you say, as people may interpret it differently from your intended meaning. Individuals in the office can be quite toxic. - May treat resigned staff members unfavourably.

As the company continues to grow and now has a larger team, you may occasionally encounter colleagues who focus more on giving negative feedback, even when the company’s intentions are good. While this doesn’t reflect the overall culture, it can be a minor challenge in an otherwise positive environment. If you’re looking for a company that values freedom, trust, and genuine care for both you and your loved ones, FOZL is a fantastic place to grow your career.
