- Poor management with favoritism
- Management’s action doesn’t align with the company’s motto and vision
- Being a quintessential Singaporean, I don’t appreciate a Chinese-speaking environment, however the vast majority of the employees are Malaysians (Probably 95%). As a result, it literally feels like a “little Malaysia”. For instance, the official meetings or team meetings are held in Mandarin. Just a disclaimer, not trying to be racist. It’s just that I would very much appreciate a company that is more diverse, which was ironically stated on the official website of the company.
- A toxic working place with many ostracizing one another and trying to butter up the management to get promotions. Yes, it means there would be a lot of backstabbing and exhausting play among employees.
- Gaslighting and imposing fear on employees by making demoralizing remarks, and potentially coercing the employee whenever necessary. Remarks made over the course of my appointment would be things like ”idiot”, ”stupidity”, ”jokers”. You name it you have it. Truly repugnant and heinous. Consequentially, employees loathed the management and attributing to its high employee turnover.
- Terrible wifi connection and superannuated IT gadgets. Based on my first-handed experience, I was given a battered laptop with preinstalled window 7. Well, I can’t complain if it’s working functionally. Sadly, it isn’t, in fact not at all. On a daily basis, the laptop would display a black screen of death and end all the tabs I have been working on unexpectedly. Just in case anyone is wondering if we could get a replacement, the answer would be no. Hypothetically speaking, if there is a “new” replacement, the replacement is often passed down from fellow colleagues. In other words, it's most likely faulty. In respect to the terrible wifi connection, the solution would be to use our own personal hotspot, and yes, no reimbursement for that.
- Mendacious propaganda with hyperbolical claims are as follows (inserted my two cents’ worth):
1. Asserted to have an RT ASEAN network with a worldwide presence, which is nowhere to be found in a prison-like setting office.
2. Provide a window of opportunity, if leftovers from prestigious or big four counts, then probably.
3. Fun and happy moments posted on social media are often mandated by the management. When in actuality, it's pure absurdity and falsification.
4. Headcount stated on different websites ranges from 60 to 100 over. As a matter of fact, there are fewer than 15 employees.
Advice to the ingenuous people out there
- Take a long hard look at all the reviews and feedbacks given by all these seniors who had left for the good. If you are considering this firm due to the first two pros, I'm afraid that I'm gonna disappoint you by telling you the naked truth. This firm is moving to an isolated shophouse in the near future.
