Looks good from the outside, but rotten on the inside - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Neo Group

Nice colleague. Lunch is included. That's it.

Before you consider joining this company, please make sure you are okay with what is shared here first: - Highly encouraged~ blood donation and monthly donation (feel forceful even though they do not say it explicitly) - Since it is an F&B establishment, helping out during festive periods in kitchen is expected even for office executives - Highly encouraged~ to attend/help out for duties beyond your job scope but no appreciation. (Highly encouraged to go Saturday monthly event in 2026 at the expense of your own rest, no off-in-lieu, packaged under the idea it is a "bonding" event.) - Very poor benefits - A lot of red tape sometimes for some project

The only pros is free food.

Honestly, this company only looks good from the outside. Compared to other companies in Singapore, your hard work don’t really reflect in your wallet. Bonus and increment also meh, and benefits almost bare minimum. Bonus is not guaranteed FYI. Employees often overworked, deadlines always last minute, and overtime expected but rarely compensated properly. During **festive periods like Chinese New Year or Christmas**, forget about half‑day vibes — everyone still must work full day, no exceptions. Your festive mood? Gone lor. Then hor, management **forces donations** in “encouraging” way. Every employee *“encouraged”* to give 1% of their salary. They say *“we don’t force lah”*, but you feel very pressured to give anyway — like, really subtle way to guilt trip you. Management also suka ask for **feedback**, but don’t take it seriously. Give them constructive ideas? Most of the time *they ignore or dismiss* — like, “we hear you” but nothing change one. Old‑school passive‑aggressive vibes everywhere. Collaboration often just means *“do it my way and smile”*. So in short: **low pay, meh benefits, long hours, no half‑days during festive period, mandatory‑ish donation, and feedback doesn’t go anywhere**. Some colleagues chill, office environment sometimes okay, but if you looking for appreciation, real innovation, or decent work‑life balance — better look elsewhere lah. You survive, maybe eat free lunch but don’t expect to feel valued or rewarded. Work here long-term? Only if you can overlook everything.
