Vantaggi
I would love to write one but there are really none I can think of at this moment ( 2025)
Svantaggi
We hired too many external Senior Managers and leaders in Asia in the past year. They do not demonstrate any desirable leadership traits nor care to learn about ASM or champion the work they are supposed to do Favoritism and internal politics overshadow collaboration and merit across Asia, especially in the IT team! High turnover in certain teams as a result of poor management practices ( IT, Legal, Finance and HR). I have seen employees being asked to go at short notice for various “underlying reasons”. This creates a toxic atmosphere of being afraid of leaders in Sg and Asia and destroys the “we care” culture we once had. Our Site HR team is incapable of doing anything to help employee grievances, instead telling you that you can quit if unhappy and just blindly putting people on PIP because of “manager feedback” without doing proper due diligence. When the People team is unable to champion culture, and instead are fearful to speak up, how can we even have a voice to Asia or HQ leadership? Decision-making feels top-down with little input from experienced employees. The top dictates, and Singapore site has no choice to accept the bad decisions and pay the price ( usually resulting in layoffs masked as poor culture fit or performance) Pay has been stagnant at mere single digit low increases as our CEO wants to keep budget tight. Profit sharing is a joke these days
