Pros

Good colleagues apart from management in Singapore

Cons

While I am grateful for the guidance and support of many colleagues who were instrumental to my success, I feel it is necessary to share my concerns about the company’s leadership practices. Initially, I was hesitant to write this review, but after hearing similar struggles from others, I realized these issues have become too significant to ignore. My experience was marked by a consistently unprofessional management style. I often observed misleading communication and unprofessional back talk among leadership, which created a toxic and divisive work environment. The way feedback was delivered was frequently rude, dismissive, and condescending, with little effort made to provide constructive guidance or support for improvement. Instead, there was a pattern of ridiculing employees, even though similar mistakes were often repeated by management themselves. There also appears to be a pattern of bullying behavior, which is deeply concerning. Employees’ ideas were sometimes taken without recognition, with leadership presenting them as their own contributions. When concerns were raised, the responses tended to be passive-aggressive or perfunctory assurances of being “heard,” followed by worsened treatment. Another recurring issue was the double standard in accountability. Employees were reprimanded for even minor errors, while management was not held to the same expectations. This created frustration, mistrust, and a culture where individuals felt unsupported. I also noticed that any apparent “leniency” from management could later be used against employees, especially when discussing performance or exit situations. These dynamics led to a very unhealthy workplace culture that caused stress, anxiety, and discouragement for me and others. Importantly, I do not believe my experience was an isolated one—previous employee reviews highlight very similar concerns, suggesting these issues are systemic and ongoing. A company’s long-term success depends on the well-being, respect, and engagement of its people. I was disappointed by the lack of care shown by leadership, who seemed unaware—or unwilling to address—the negative environment being created. This approach is not sustainable. For these reasons, I unfortunately cannot recommend this company as a place of employment
