Pros

- A bit of flexibility - Some coworkers are generally nice - Less OT

Cons

Like the other reviews mentioned, some of the reviews here are faked. I would recommend other designers that wanting to join the company to think twice as there are few reasons I will list below: 1. There's no leadership in the current team. (Was better last time before the former lead left) 2. Lack of experience/background/knowledge team lead 3. Fluffy people The current team lead lacks the experience, background and knowledge to do his job. Big talker, egoistic and knows nothing. Besides the English skill, he's lacking a product and design mindset as well. At best a pretentious graphic designer trying to work in tech industry.

Pros

None to mention. Don't bother

Cons

- Bad cashflow management. - Marketing team has a deadweight from Brand that is heading a team that doesn't exist and no money for any initiative. (I'm not encouraging it, please save whatever money you have left). - Product team has a few expats that is useless. Great at creating decks. Contributed nothing to the business or revenue. - Senior Management ignoring any feedback from the ground. Think they know everything. Why are you hiring people with experience when you don't listen to them?Might as well just run the company with interns to feed your ego. - All the reviews about senior management being one of the worst is true. To the senior management: At a start-up, execution is everything. Stop hiring/keeping people who can only talk or to feed your ego. The phrase "empty vessels make the most noise" is created for a reason. If you really want this company to succeed, start reflecting on why your competitors are executing so much faster than you. Because they strategise to execute at scale, not strategise to feed your ego. And let's face it, this is a not a fintech company. The faster you realise that and pivot your business, the more chance you have at surviving.

Dear fellow ex-MS colleague, Thank you for your feedback. We hear your concerns over bad cashflow management as well as on the brand and product team. Since the start of WFH arrangements, we have been very transparent with our cashflow management through the fortnightly townhall meetings. In those townhall meetings, we have also gotten the respective product teams to indicate and showcase on their workstreams and positive achievements. Thank you for your feedback again and we wish you all the best in your current role, stay safe! -- Regards, Leon Chua Group Talent Acquisition Lead

Great Culture... NOT

Pros

Some fun and energetic people

Cons

The culture is a make-belief, which existed no more. Many old-timers with real heart for company and worked hard left because of the cultural erosion. Management talks about culture all the time, but they cannot follow. Management is incapable, lacks on the ground knowledge, and hire people who are equally incompetent to lead teams. Team leads will reward those who make them look good, and those who performed will be silenced if they find them a threat. If you want to solve a problem, you are a problem. If you work hard, you are a problem. Pay disparity is high. There is no growth even if you title changes. You will struggle when you get out there as if there is no real experience to take away. Good people will find it hypocritical and leave. If you are white or Indian, you get preferential treatment and higher pay. Tough fact. If you are a talker, you win the game. If you are a hardworker, look elsewhere. Management do not value its people.
