Pros
- Nice and spacious office, cool pantry offerings. There are 2 pantries! - Teammates (excluding those ranked managers and above) are cool - Temasek 爷爷 backing - all tables are adjustable - cool stuff - far from MRT but walk is sheltered all the way
Cons
- Very hierarchical as much as they claim they’re not - lots of politics in higher management levels - leaders want to have their big titles but push away ownership and responsibility - benefits are not the worst but other tech firms have much better benefits - information from top not disseminated down properly causing miscommunication and confusion - back to above point of not taking ownership when things go wrong - very top heavy - for what? - those on top are not hands on/ willing to do dirty work, but there are not many non-management executives to help do their work therefore overworking the few little who are still around - if your ranking is not manager and above, you are the lowest life form and will not be appreciated / thanked for your contribution - leaders protect their clients instead of their team - goes for corporate function departments also. They listen to stakeholders’ complaints without clarifying with own team first. - always promotes Temasek backing but it really doesn’t mean much. Management does not have it together and is very messy overall - leaders instill fear instead of trying to empower and motivate. yet they try to constantly build good rapport with other stakeholders Whoever is reading this - hope you question how you treat your own team too and not just other departments.
