Think Twice. Then Run. - Associate Rohan Mah & Partners Employee Review

If you just want to secure a job quickly and don’t mind being paid below market rate, this company will give you that stability. It’s family-owned, so it’s unlikely to shut down overnight.

There’s a 3-year bond tied to the low base salary meaning you can’t easily leave even if you’re unhappy. The company uses this to trap employees under poor working conditions. As a family business, every cent is treated like personal family money. Management is extremely stingy, disorganised, and emotionally unstable. They vent their personal frustrations on staff, and “training” basically doesn’t exist. They hire almost anyone, even those with no relevant skills, then scold them when they make mistakes. Overtime is often forced, not because of heavy workload, but because management delays and poor planning cause last-minute rushes.

1. Almost zero office politics within colleagues because everyone is just trying to survive their 3 years bond in the firm. 2. Harsh working environment trains you for the unexpected in your upcoming career. 3. New and nice office, at the expense of no bonus/low starting pay

1. Long bond duration (3 years) 2. Poor salary package. Be wary when you sign the contract stating no increment during your 3 years bond. If stated in your contract, the only hope of salary increment is if you are on employment pass and MOM require higher salary threshold. 3. No bonus. 4. Continuous decreasing manpower, same amount of workload, no increment or bonus to compensate your effort. 5. Management treats employee not as an asset, but as a liability. 6. Work life balance is unheard in the audit industry. But, now try that with a lower than average pay with bad management style in this firm. 7. As this is a family business, do not expect support from HR.
