Not as good as it seems - Manager Hegen Employee Review

- Great product ideas (initially) - Learn a lot - Fun colleagues

- No real, mature, transparent two way conversation between management & employees; employees do not feel comfortable to be honest. Everything becomes superficial. Eg. pattern of defective products but when raised up, they get offended. - Dealing with the whims of the management (throwing fits, being ignored, passive-aggressive) - Relationship with management is superficial. Love to always claim to be a family but do not behave like it. - No work life balance (no OT pay, leave was not given properly, overworked, expected to work after hours - emails, messages). Expected to work weekends and back to back for two weeks at a time. - High turnover rate (people not treated right, have seen staff being fired and told to leave on same day) - Unrealistic expectations — can get berated if you do not meet them. Expectations are also subjective. Recommend everything to be penned down in black & white via email. - Unclear KPIs, no proper career path (can change job title every appraisal, org chart always changes to suit their needs). KPIs set before going for appraisal / review. - Contract terms are for show, usually to protect management. Read it VERY carefully before signing. Employee benefits (such as Annual Leave) looks reasonable but face a lot of resistance if you actually try to use. - A lot of effort is placed by management to make sure that the image on the outside is upkept - as though putting on a show. Eg. seeding influencers. - Expected to do (extensively) more than what job scope requires - People who actually put in effort are underpaid and overworked. No proper recognition - Not worth to travel for overseas trip.

Colleagues, location, thats almost all.

Culture is just plain terrible. Feels like going to war coming to this place to work. If you are able to, just stay away from this place.
