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

Great exposure to reputable accounts, though the work environment is heavily impacted by the boss's unpredictable mood. The office is conveniently located in Bugis.

Cons

The boss frequently makes contradictory decisions, unfairly leaving staff to take the blame. There’s no HR department to support employees, and salaries are only issued on the last possible day each month.

Pros

They give us a lot of staff benefits, more than I can imagine in another company, and the management is very kind. They are willing to give a second chance to former employees who were deemed useless, as they could only talk but never produce results. However, despite the kindness shown, the said ex-employee didn't appreciate it and lodged a complaint with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). In the end, the judge dismissed the case due to lack of evidence, and the judge was very upset with the ex-employee for wasting both the judge's and the management's time

Cons

I've been working with this company for 5 years already, and I'm still going strong. During this time, I haven't seen any drawbacks, only that the management is too kind to the staff
