Pros

Team members are generally capable and committed Colleagues try their best to deliver despite challenges

Cons

Management frequently changes direction after decisions have been communicated, creating confusion and unnecessary rework Expectations are often presented as clear, but later contradicted or reframed, making it difficult to meet moving targets There is a lack of alignment among leadership, resulting in mixed messages to teams Planning is weak, and execution suffers as priorities shift without explanation Employees are expected to adapt to ambiguity without adequate guidance or support

Pros

Flexible WFH hours Great supportive colleagues

Cons

- HR who’s not even stationed in HQ and not familiar with SG HQ’s MOM laws - HR does not advocate for employees - fickle-minded bosses who can’t keep to plans, or plan for that matter—driven by emotions. A lot. - bosses like to jump into a frenzy of exciting new big projects *every year*, undermining the amount of time and effort that goes into working on those projects and think they can always figure it out in-house without trained professionals/consultations or proper planning. Ends up overworking everyone and overspending unnecessarily, and still do not get the desired results. Killing everyone for no good reason and spending what could’ve been good bonuses.
