Pros

1. You’ll build resilience, because stability is a luxury item here. 2. If you enjoy surprises, you’ll be surprised every day.

Cons

1. “Corporate culture” is heavily promoted. The systems, governance, and behaviour to support it are… coming soon. 2. Direction changes depending on which top person you spoke to last. Strategy is real-time. Documentation is optional. 3. Corporate hires are brought in for their experience, then quickly educated that their experience is “not applicable here.” (So thanks for your expertise—please don’t use it here.) 4. Performance management happens fast, sometimes before people even understand what success looks like internally. It doesn’t feel like coaching; it feels like an express lane to “not a good fit.” 5. Career development is inconsistent. If you’re not growing at the preferred speed, you may become… decorative or transparent. 6. “No toxic environment” is a popular slogan. In practice, the tone often starts at the top and trickles down exactly as you’d expect. 7. AI is deeply involved in decision-making, which would be great—if it were used to expand thinking. Instead it’s often used like a rubber stamp generator: prompt, challenge, re-prompt until the output finally agrees with the preferred narrative. Very innovative. Very modern.

Pros

I don't think there are any benefits to working here.

Cons

- No work-life balance (whoever said the opposite, they not youngsters & used to be corporate slaves) - Bad management - Recent HR very rude, bad system, very slow - Fancy office but only built to satisfy ceo, not employees (like cannot use any other spaces, cannot sit by the window without permission wtf) - Employee is not the core of business (ur not important, money is!) - Located at a very unstrategic place, densed, heavy traffic, no eateries nearby, only a road with many cars (they provide shuttle to the mrt but the driver also stress out) - Cannot do this, cannot do that, cannot wfh unless dying/higher position, must check-in, check-out, like prison. - It feel like the company is doing good stuff, good campaign, good products but once you work here, you see the reality - There are other races but you will not feel diversity - No team bonding, no company activities, just a company trip that benefits some parties (normal staff don't expect much ya) - Also, company trip not free need to pay - High turnover, many come and go easily - Do not be fool by the company looks and the people - Their spa/beauty treatment all trash, lies and force - Other races pls don't go here and use their service because they did not accept other races to be beautician unless u have bright skin and pretty face

Pros

- Nice brand image from the outside, much better than the reality inside. - If you enjoy office politics and gossip, you’ll get plenty of exposure.

Cons

- Management lacks professionalism and emotional maturity. Gossiping, talking behind employees’ backs, and shifting blame appear to be part of the culture. - Very poor decision-making at leadership level. Decisions are time-consuming, frequently changed, and often reversed, resulting in wasted effort, inefficiency, and constant confusion. - Clear favoritism exists within the organization. Opportunities, recognition, accountability, and even flexibility are not applied consistently and often depend on personal relationships rather than performance. - Leadership is inconsistent and ego-driven. Feedback and differing opinions are rarely valued, especially when they challenge existing views. - Employees are blamed for issues they did not cause, and when people resign, they conveniently become the reason for everything that goes wrong. - Leadership avoids accountability and prefers finger-pointing over problem-solving. - Employees’ contributions and hard work are rarely appreciated; mistakes are magnified while efforts go unnoticed. - Extremely rigid and punitive attendance policy - forgetting to clock in or out results in a half-day salary deduction, and forgetting both leads to a full day’s pay being deducted, regardless of actual hours worked. - Benefits are extremely disappointing for a beauty company that markets itself as premium. - Toxic environment disguised as “fast-paced” and “passionate”. - No psychological safety - expect to be talked about instead of talked to.
