Singlife Reviews

1. No work life balance. Very lean resources and no replacement for people who have left. 2. Those who can work are asked to take on more without any appreciation or compensation. Take for granted it is part of your job scope. More talkers than Doers. 3. Autocratic Leadership when comes to decision making and does not take inputs well. Make executive decisions and others are expected to follow. 4. Micromanagement from Senior leadership team downwards. Does not trust the staff and monitor whether staffs comes to office or not. e.g taking photos daily and marking attendance 5. No career progression and low morale. High turnover rates. Good people with knowledge are leaving and new hires are of low standards.

Singlife is now an ageing star. Back in its glory days it was the talk of the town, launching cutting edge financial products with a startup mentality. Walter was a truly visionary leader. But there were consistently problems with the systems that came back to bite users, which led to bad user reviews and complaints. But the moment Singlife jumped the shark truly was the merger with Aviva and associated restructuring. The new process involves getting business teams involved in signing off app and web updates, and it has become a real pain to maintain the speed of delivery that as a startup Singlife was known for. There are glaring technical deficiencies that remain, but business would rather focus on the cosmetic issues because that is all their non-technical minds can understand. There is a real sense of power-play with certain people creating silos around their business verticals and the sense of startup spark and collaboration is gone in favor of the kind of politics you see in big stagnating companies. Walter, we need you back. Ned, you need to really get in the trenches and see what ails our org. We broke our backs to create Singlife out of nothing, and it is a shame to see this become just-another-boring-insurer with no vision and no technological advantage.
