Pros

water hose in the toilet

Cons

- Playground for the political individuals - Work Bullying - Be prepared to take blame for everything if you do not bootlick the founder and his troops of 'senior employees' - Work ard the clock or be judged as not efficient (whatsapp can come in AROUND THE CLOCK) - Showcase your ability and be judged and outcast by jealous cliques in the company - Your hair color and appearance can be a reason for the gossipers (including C level management) - Play the politic games set by your management or be penalised in your work - Do not expect recognition for everything done right but expect to take the blame for those that do not stand together with the evil and jealousy cliques - Unhealthy place to be at - Creativity is not needed, traditional to the maximum extent - Does not like new ideas, does not want to explore digital nor social media marketing, very confined to the old thinking - Love comparing with any and every F&B brand instead of keeping own business in check Every person that bootlicks bosses basically will be recognized in this company. For those capable individuals that are sincere in contributing will be bullied if they do not bootlick to the vicious management. For example, a simple artwork actually takes 2 months to be up because even the finance, site manager and chef has decisive power, in the language and images used. Makes one wonder why they hire a marketeer? Site manager only sources sites to rent, shops to rent. Yet, a site manager has a say in the food quality, artwork design, and every little thing of the company. Again, there are authority rights of this post, which overwrite the marketing department. Senior employees like to form cliques and bully newcomers. Common practice of department hear to force employees to play politics by whatsapping them vicious and malicious words about other colleagues. Failure to follow tru, you will be given no work, and you will be outcast till you resign. I have never left a place within 1 month of my work there. This is the first and i am hopeful that it will be the last in SG.

Pros

The company puts in effort to employee welfare and creating a warm, friendly working environment. The company regularly organize activities and celebrations (i.e: Mid-Autumn Festival celebration, annual anniversary event, monthly birthday celebrations and team bonding dinners) that brought everyone together and made the workplace feel more than just work. Overall, the culture is supportive and welcoming, and i enjoy my working experience in the company.

Cons

A bit of distance from MRT

Pros

Working here has been an incredibly rewarding journey, particularly for those driven by clear career progression and merit-based growth. The company truly excels at identifying talent, offering the mentorship and internal pathways necessary to transition into leadership roles. This professional development is complemented by an outstanding office ambience—a modern, high-energy space that sparks innovation and genuine teamwork. What sets this workplace apart is its forward-thinking approach; for instance, the company actively provides cutting-edge AI courses to sharpen our technical skills and maximize team productivity. It is rare to find an organization that so perfectly balances a high-growth culture with such a supportive and future-ready atmosphere.

Cons

Fast-Paced: Because the company is growing so quickly, the pace can be intense at times. You need to be someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and can manage your time well.
