Pros

On the ground staff who actually know what they are doing, who work incredibly hard (only for their self esteem and credit to be taken away any chance the bosses get) TRUST THE REVIEWS, save your time and months of your life and apply elsewhere. There are no pros.

Cons

Zero system. Zero consistency. Everything is case by case, so they literally hold ANYTHING against you according to their mood. Pay discrepancy is MAD. please do your research before agreeing with their offer. Terribly incompetent and unintelligent bosses, who believe that every word out of their mouth is godlike, without realising that their staff truly, honestly, does not respect nor harbor any loyalty to them whatsoever. They hold salaries over your head, they make grand promises that they feel no remorse for not keeping, they go back on their word SO OFTEN that staff dont trust anything they say. They live in a fantasy world and spin stories about how hard they 'worked' to get to where they are, when in reality they sorely lack any real talent and sadly are too unintelligent to know when to keep quiet. Pointless micro management and insane rules. They're so paranoid about staff talking among themselves that they insist to be involved in every conversation. Even private conversations are 'discouraged' as 'they need to make sure staff are not spreading lies'. All they expect from management is for them to tell tales on their staff, so they know who to weed out for being 'disloyal'. They harp on any good thing they ever do, and divulge personal information to all staff in order to push their narrative - 'you see I even visited him in hospital over the weekend even though I didn't need to, I did it because I am a good boss you know?' This story has been told for many years, and held above that staffs head as a loyalty bargain. 'you know this person, I gave him $xxx raise because he promised me he will work harder leh. I always give and give and never get anything back. I'm really the most poor thing'. Last time I checked, bosses don't go around telling all the staff the EXACT AMOUNT they are paying other staff, or how much of a raise they are giving out. At external meetings, the 2 bosses talk over each other in front of clients, to the point of arguing. They cannot speak English well, but insist on using flowery language to appear more intelligent, but fail miserably and staff are embarrassed to even attend meetings with them (btw, micromanaging is so strong that they don't trust their own staff to attend meetings without one of them present, even though meetings would be very much more productive without them around. Insane). They hide their extreme turnover from clients. They reward the WORST clients by giving in to their every whim as they are too dishonest and spineless, and truly don't give a damn about staff wellbeing. Hours and hours of internal meetings, just sitting around and listening to them drone on about how great they are and tooting their own horns. Stifling an eye roll is a job requirement here. They pay for loyalty. They don't respect any single person they cannot manipulate and control. They don't respect people with integrity and honor. They do not value the truth. They are biased to the highest degree. If you join, join for the salary, but don't trust a word they say to you. They spin a great tale for the future when you first start. It goes downhill VERY FAST. If you are a sniveling YES MAN/WOMAN with no morals and integrity, this is the place for you. Please leave the truth at the door when you step into this black hole of flawed logic and dishonest shady practices. and be prepped to wax the bosses behinds, every day you work here. Do not let them convince you that they have been around for so long because THEY work so hard and do everything right. They are still around because they themselves are sniveling yes men who say yes to any single request clients make, at the cost of their own staff. It's client over staff - 100% of the time. There is no exception. They are still around because of the handful of talent they still have that tolerate their abuse. This company is still around DESPITE them, not thanks to them.

Pros

- Friendly colleagues - Near MRT - Food nearby is not bad

Cons

In my whole working life, this is the first company I've come across that uses whatsapp to communicate and manage/delegate projects. This just shows how unprofessional they are. Is it so hard to move to a more systematic software (like slack, at the very least)? It's a super messy organisation, and the employers are proud of how long they have come?! They expect A LOT from you without showing the proper ropes. They have a lot of projects probably because they have a connection with the government, and the ones who suffer the most? Are the workers. Micro manage literally every day — breathing down your neck kind. They throw a lot of tasks at you and expect you to finish within a day and must show the WIP. And when you didn't manage to finish the task, the boss will make you feel like you're incompetent. It's very demoralising. They also expect you to OT without being compensated. I understand that this seems to be the norm in an agency, but it's not worth sacrificing your time here because they don'st appreciate it. RUN. Look at the reviews. You can try working here if you want to see how bad they are, and if you don't want to do quality work. But one thing working here has made me realise: no other place could be worse than here. My mental health has deteriorated so much just by working here. Good luck.
