Pros

The office is near the mrt. The wifi is fast. is the a pro?

Cons

They brought out a calculator during the interview — not to discuss projections or targets, but to calculate how much I’d need to earn just to survive. That moment made everything clear. In this company, you’re not seen as a person. You’re an equation. A resource. A cost to optimise. Teamwork? Nonexistent. Everyone is expected to operate in silos, inefficiently, and somehow still compete against each other. The structure is less like a company and more like a revolving-door MLM with a corporate dress code. The irony? I’m a headhunter capable of running the entire pipeline solo. If I already have the ability to deliver results independently, why would I waste my time in a system designed to extract value without offering any? And really, the 2-star Glassdoor rating says it all. Every few months, the entire team turns over — a fresh batch of new grads walks in, and the last batch quietly disappears. It’s a cycle of burnout, not growth. What’s even funnier is watching the Achieve team trying to pad the reviews. Every fake comment ends the same way: “Good for fresh grads.” Which, frankly, just confirms what we already know — anyone with real ability won’t stay. Because there’s nowhere to go.

Your feedback is clearly a deeply felt and very candid review of your experience with us. We are sorry that your time at Achieve Group felt transactional. It is never our intention for employees to feel like merely "an equation". Your feedback regarding the calculator used during the interview is particularly concerning and not reflective of the person-centric approach we aim to take. We will be looking into the context of this interview practice to ensure our focus remains on an applicant's skills, potential, and career goals. We also acknowledge your critique of the feeling of operating in "silos" and the lack of teamwork despite a highly competitive environment. We hire driven individuals like yourself, and we recognize that our structure needs to better balance healthy competition with collaborative support and shared knowledge. We are actively working to build clearer, more rewarding career progression paths for high-performing, independent consultants who want to stay and grow with the company long-term. We thank you again for your honesty. We are committed to making meaningful changes to the internal culture and management approach.

Pros

- location - only 2 things in the pantry: water dispenser and microwave

Cons

I would strongly caution anyone considering joining this company. The management and leadership quality are extremely poor, which likely explains why a 35-year-old business has fewer than 20 consultants. The KPIs are quite aggressive, and while high targets are not uncommon in the industry, the level of support and guidance provided to achieve them is limited. The management style leans heavily toward micromanagement, which can make it difficult to work independently and confidently. High targets aren’t the issue—I’ve worked in environments with demanding KPIs where strong leadership made success achievable. That is not the case here. Leadership tends to single individuals out unless they engage in favoritism, and professionalism is lacking. There are also concerns around professionalism and communication from leadership, with feedback at times feeling more discouraging than constructive. Additionally, collaboration across teams appears restricted, which can limit exposure and learning opportunities. Overall, the managers/leaders here are the main issues.
