Pros

Great career development in the small development team. Very helpful CTO.

Cons

Management is very untrustworthy. They won't keep the promises regarding the salary increments and stock options. You can't expect that you would get the last month salary when you resign eventhough you are supposed to get it according to the agreement. And also, the employeement agreement is very unfavourable for the employee. No work-life balance at all. Management tries to do micromanagement eventhough it is a startup. Company expects you to work late, work on some weekends, holidays. Very hard to get approval for annual leaves. Management doesn't think about the personal matters of the employees and thinks that the emplyees are like robots.

Pros

Company is credible. Company's Artificial Intelligence trading and AutoInvest solution is used by retail and more importantly by several renowned B2B businesses. I personally support these B2C and B2B clients, so if the solutions aren't good why would B2B work with them? There are many trading gurus, courses and systems in Asia, but I feel AlgoMerchant is one of the many few that has created something that can really make money for their customers.

Cons

Company is secretive with their tech (so hard to really know their AI secret), but after being in this industry actually all professional hedge funds (like RenTec) are extremely tight lipped. Maybe this is the norm for such companies. Doesn't help that I work for them remotely so this secretive culture is something I am still trying to get used to.

Pros

Following covid-19 guidelines in office

Cons

Failing startup company, culture very not startup, more of a software company. Management guilt trip employee, easily lies about everything. lies about salary amount, lies about jobdesk and responsibility, lies about working hour. Maniac CEO, often act like he or the company is very successful, but their hobby is to exploit young interns and trick people before going full time. Unrealistic KPI, Possibly the worst company to work in singapore! Safe to say working in a fastfood restaurant is more fulfilling rather to work in this gloomy and no future software company (they call themselves startups 😂) ps. No career opportunities! Job contracts term and conditions are easily ignored by them! The worst
