Punctual working hours, the option to work from home, an office very close to an MRT station, and very little overtime. Suitable for people who prefer stability, do not need to possess many skills or much ambition, seek a peaceful life, or want to earn a salary while looking for another job.
1. Misleading information. During the interview, they said there would be training, but after joining, I found that there was not even a complete product introduction. The employee responsible for guidance had no teaching experience either. Employees' understanding of the company's product functions varied widely, and communication among the engineers was poor, often resulting in twice the effort for half the results. Instead of specializing in one area, they aimed too high and wanted to work in every field, only to end up with nothing worth boasting about. Software that other companies in the same industry have already developed is really not worth wasting time on here (unless you want to take your time experimenting; in that case, this is the place for you).
2. Employing redundant staff. The PM of the AI team does not understand the project and only talks without taking action. When coordination is needed, he merely passes the issue to others instead of helping, then takes credit when results are achieved. Asking him about something can take one or two weeks, or even longer, to get a response, after which he blames team members for not asking someone else themselves. Without understanding medicine, he judges the difficulty of projects based on his own ignorance and then assigns KPI scores arbitrarily. Those who flatter him get high scores, while people who recognize his lack of ability get low scores. The manager also stands by and does not want to deal with matters, so he will not intervene. I suggest that new employees build a favorable relationship with him so that he will like them and give them high scores.
3. No flexibility regarding established KPIs. Even if you fail to meet your KPI because it involves something beyond your control (for example, your progress is blocked because another employee failed to achieve their target), it will still be treated as your problem. The manager says he knows this, but that is how the KPI was set, so there is nothing he can do. (This applies only to the AI team; I do not know about the other teams.)
4. Concerns about the manager's qualifications. The overseas business manager lacks tact in communication and often offends people without realizing it. He does not know how to be humble. If he had strong abilities, people might be willing to trust him, but I suggest that this manager work on his spoken English and self-reflection so that people can respect him.
There are other unbelievable incidents that I will not go into. I believe intelligent people do not need to join before realizing that this is not a place to enter casually: in a company of only around 30 people, approximately one-fifth have left within half a year, and there are constantly job openings on 104. Professionalism will not be respected here; instead, people who slack off are favored by the general manager. Please think carefully before submitting your résumé, and do not be fooled by that small office conference room packed with certificates and awards.
Regarding the responder to the second comment, I assume you are one of the company's managers. You blamed a former employee without knowing the situation in other departments. I suppose you have neither personally "looked into and understood" the matter nor "heard about it," right? The internal disclosure was made because the person had experienced it firsthand and could no longer tolerate it, so they came forward to warn others to choose their company carefully. I suggest that you properly understand the situation within your own company before replying; otherwise, you are merely contradicting yourself and making yourself look laughable.
