Pros

Great location above Bugis MRT.

Cons

1. Management is notoriously dishonest and disrespectful. Very good at talking, which makes them all the more skilled at manipulating and taking advantage of workers. Unsurprisingly, turnover rate is sky high! 2. Management is also arrogant and unprofessional. They do not listen to feedback, even if you hold a very objective and constructive physical meeting, face-to-face, one-on-one, with documents and agenda and next steps all penned out, with them. This honestly surprised me, because how much more direct does an employee have to be to raise concerns? 3. Middle management is pretty much just a puppet to top management. 4. So much drama and politics for such a small company. Office is also extremely noisy and hard to focus in. And if you try to find a quiet space to concentrate on your work, management will end up using it against you during your “KPI review” for being anti-social. Good lord, you get punished for trying to be hardworking here! 5. Yes, “KPI review” in inverted commas because of the atrocious lack of any such processes. Management has a history for very sly and cunning HR patterns, such as failing or extending probations by their whim and fancy, and underhanded means to make people quit because they don’t want to fire them the proper way. I strongly encourage anyone applying for this company to request for a chat with existing employees to verify the working conditions here before signing your contract.

Pros

Nice colleagues that bonded over sufferings. Pleasant food near the office. A few welfare checks when the management feels like it.

Cons

Management likes to hire fresh graduates with expectations for them to deliver senior quality work. It doesn’t take long for management to redefine job scopes as and when they deem necessary. In management, emotions rule without logical reasoning; tantrums thrown from time to time; and there is no clear business sense or direction.

Pros

- No micro managing - Friends/ Colleagues ( use to ) work with are good - Office is somewhat in central - good dental and health benefits

Cons

- Work according to the founders attitude/temper - Project scopes/ brief can be very rush and super messed up - Expect the founders to shout/scream and slamming of doors if both of them quarrel - Little wage, No increment, little bonus - Will brainwash you to do 5 person jobs in 1 salary - Founders don't understand creative pipeline. - Founders can not visualize creative work and will require you to create multiple briefs/output just to please them. - Projects are super rush. OT alot ( despite the founders don't seem to know ) - Staffs turnover are really high, can leave straight right after probation has finish. - Founders depending on their mood will sugar coat or gas light you. - Leave approval is not prioritize, If you have really important issues to be away your leave may be rejected. - Founders will favor people that they like only, rather then equally. ( you will get left out and ignored really fast ) - Founders will require you to step up and learn new expertise that's not within your job description in the name of learning with no salary increment. - Founders will say one thing behind your back and another infront of you. ( toxic, gas lighting work culture is real ) -Require you to be a well rounded player in office to " learn new stuff " but infact they just want to save money. - Company would require you to do "internal homework's" Ontop of your rushed dateline and projects in the name of learning. Even when staffs has feedback that its really undesirable to be done. Founders lack vision in business building and people foresight. It is a client/account focus job where they don't care much about people. Once they dislike you they would say nasty things/scold/gas light you and you will leave eventually. Overall this is one of the worst start up agency you would want to be in.
