Poor direction and penny wise COO

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Free lunch and great colleagues who are united with one another except for the senior management...

Cons

CEO Tom Koh and COO June Koh are husband and wife running the company. It is a family business and we don't see any way we can progress and climb up the corporate ladder here. We do not have any voice to share our opinions or ideas. Literally treating us like dogs working for them, when they say something, we can't give suggestions or COO will stare at us like we have done something wrong. Terribly disgusted at how this company is moving and I have no choice but to leave the company. I honestly feel terrible for my colleagues who are still in the company as I know they aren't really happy with the culture. I have never heard ANYONE say ANYTHING GOOD OR PRAISE COO June Koh. This says a lot doesn't it? Not to mention she is penny wise too. CEO Tom Koh is a nice guy, but being pressured by his wife in this company. Also, company is flooded with interns and not many full timers. Taking on projects and giving empty promises to clients by trying to outsource with the lack of full time staff. I wish my colleagues the very best here...

Block leave at the very last minute

Pros

CEO Tom Koh is generous with his knowledge

Cons

COO June Koh is a terrible boss who demands her employees to block leave at the last minute. Employees end up working on days with block leave anyway because they cannot reschedule their planned tasks and meetings with clients at such short notice. COO June Koh expects employees to notify them weeks in advance when applying for annual leave but they do not have the courtesy to notify employees weeks in advance for block leave.

Not a place for long-term

Pros

1. Steep learning curve. There are many clients and little staff to manage all the tasks, so you will be expected to take on lots of responsibilities. They 2. Extensive client base. Good for expanding one's portfolio, and one might make useful connections. 3. Colleagues below the top management are all pleasant to work with. They offer help when possible. 4. Incentives are given to try to encourage performance. 5. One will thrive well in the environment if one has a glib tongue.

Cons

1. Easy to burn out. You're stretched to maximise every dollar that you're paid, and yet it never seems to be enough. 2. Questionable ethics. (Pay close enough attention to the reviews here, and you'll realise how similarly worded some of them are.) 3. Tendency to over promise clients. When there's little communication between the salesperson and the operations team, the salesperson fails to understand the limitations of campaign execution. This results in promising clients short turnover times, agreeing to difficult requests, etc. 4. Difficult higher management. They have good intentions, but fail to understand their employees. Employee turnover is increasing, and yet they haven't realised that their inability to address real employee concerns is one of the factors behind these decisions. Instead, they seem to find those that want to leave ungrateful. 5. Lack of appreciation. Many of the colleagues here really go out of their way to do their work without complaints, yet they aren't given what they deserve, in terms of treatment and compensation. 6. High employee turnover.
