      Pros

      You will receive an excellent training on how to be micromanaged

      Cons

      If you're considering joining Mitrade's HR Department, read this carefully before you decide. Collaboration is essentially performative. Decisions are made before discussions happen. You will be invited to meetings where the outcome is already fixed, your role is to nod, not contribute. Open-mindedness does not exist here. Raising an alternative view isn't just unwelcome, it's quietly held against you. Leadership mistakes compliance for competence. Accountability flows in one direction: downward. When things go wrong, individuals are blamed. When things go right, leadership takes the credit. This is consistent, not occasional. Empowerment is a word they will use in interviews. In practice, experienced professionals are reduced to instruction-followers. The judgement you were hired for will be systematically sidelined. Micromanagement is the actual management style, granular, suffocating, and dressed up as "high standards." It signals one thing clearly: leadership does not trust the people it hired. Professionalism here means a polished surface over a deeply dysfunctional culture. Smiles in meetings, knives in corridors. People are managed out or pushed out while everyone pretends otherwise. Hiring is another weak point. There is a pattern of bringing in people who look impressive on paper but lack substance, possibly because strong, independent thinkers are a threat to this kind of leadership. Turnover: ask about it directly. The answer will tell you everything the job description won't. This is not a department in need of minor adjustments. It needs a fundamental rethink of who is leading, how they lead, and whether they are capable of change. If you join, you will likely do good work, feel increasingly frustrated, and eventually leave. Most people do. You've been warned by someone who stayed longer than they should have.

      Pros

      1. Pretty good work life balance 2. Pay comes in on time 3. Pantry is pretty good That's about it

      Cons

      1. Inadequate support from higher management 2. Working with external teams can make you pull your hair 3. Direction from upper management is like asking your mum whether you can go out to play but she says go ask your dad. And the cycle repeats itself 4. Chinese language for business conversations is needed as such, huge learning curve and inefficient at times when you need to translate things. 5. Management has inculcated a ever-learning-environment by not implementing proper turnover SOP. As such, you are learning everything from scratch once someone leaves. 6. Expect yourself to constantly contemplate whether or not you have communication issues with how individuals respond to instructions and queries.

      Pros

      - It's at Suntec City, so it's quite accessible. - The HR executives really made the interview and hiring process feel quite smooth. - You'll definitely be able to improve your Chinese.

      Cons

      - The capabilities of overseas counterparts are extremely questionable. - Your workflow is heavily dependent on whether overseas counterparts can deliver. Most times, you are just waiting on them before they can deliver which can sometimes take weeks. - For those who think that you can bring your experiences and expertise from previous jobs to this company, think again. You'll be extremely surprised that you won't be able to, unless you are the ones who are extremely favoured by management. - For a company that is global, very little seems to have been properly established. This leads to tremendous confusion from many departments. - Making the higher ups happy seem to be more important than starting / doing things right. People hired in the higher up positions also do not seem to have the required expertise / knowledge in their supposed roles to give strong direction.
