Anger issues - Developer StarVision IT Employee Review

The colleagues were the pros

The work environment can be stressful due to poor communication, unclear changes, and limited openness to feedback. There is little proper onboarding, and employees may be expected to figure things out on their own. Workload can be heavy, and appreciation for completed work may be limited. Feedback is not always welcomed, and suggestions for improvement may be taken negatively instead of constructively. There is also a strong push for AI and automation, but at times it may feel like they don't understand the actual problems faced by employees. Overall, it may be a difficult environment for those who value clear communication, proper guidance, and supportive management.

Avoid unless you are desperate for a job. Cannot think of anything positive.

Middle management adds zero value. No technical knowledge, contribute nothing, but somehow have management's ear so all decisions go through people who don't know what they're talking about. To justify their existence they nitpick small irrelevant things like office housekeeping while the actual product is falling apart. Very obvious they are just wayang to keep their rice bowl. Boss is completely disconnected from the ground. Don't know what employees actually do and don't bother to find out. Leadership promotes the flagship product as some easy to use low code platform but in reality building anything on it is pain. Poorly documented, full of workarounds, frustrating to work with. Product is built on legacy .NET Framework with no modern architecture but they talk about it like it's world class. Don't bother giving feedback because nobody wants to hear it. No mentorship, no structured onboarding, no career development. Day one you are on your own. Technical team stretched thin maintaining a codebase that should have been modernised years ago. Good luck. Culture is toxic. Expect to get shouted at in meetings in front of everyone. Compensation below market, benefits basically non existent. Cannot even give half day off for New Year's Day. If you expect basic respect and fairness, save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere. Company hires incompetent foreigners rather than investing in local talent. Singaporean staff underpaid and expected to carry the weight for the quality gaps. Typical kiam siap mentality.
