Extremely biased against employees who don’t speak Chinese as their main language. You’ll be ostracised and don’t feel like you’re part of the team. This is Singapore, not China.
The seniors and managers love bootlickers. You don’t need to be competent in your job; as long as you make the people “up there” happy, you’re guaranteed a smooth sailing career. True hard workers, however, are subject to criticism all the time.
Expects everyone to devote their time to the company 24/7, but do not acknowledge one’s efforts. Extremely results-focused. You can devote 24 hours in a day but as long as they deem your work as unsatisfactory, don’t even dream of getting recognised for the hard work you put in. Isn’t the point of an entry level job for you to learn and grow? If you pay an entry level salary and expect the employee to magically make zero mistakes, you’re very wrong.
They pride themselves for being a growing “top” e-commerce company in the region, acting like a Google wannabe but their working culture is very much like any SME out there.
Bad planning in management as well. Managers are only managers because of the years they put in for the company; not whether they can truly lead a team. As a result, you see many seniors who can do their work properly, but are clearly not of managerial material.
