Pros

A few helpful colleagues, some have left (good choice)

Cons

- Vanessa, recently promoted MD of the Singapore office shows no empathy towards her subordinates at all, very arrogant, always asking for feedbacks for the sake of asking because she already has her own ideas and was trying to implant such ideas into everybody so that everyone will agree (willing OR NOT), shows no remorse in uprightly playing favouritism within the team causing politics, using inappropriate languages on her people, extremely micro managing (seems like all her time used was to micro manage people under her) - A very toxic environment to work under as people were encourage to build personal branding within the company apparently (people who are good at sucking up) - COO is lecherous especially after office hours during gatherings (thou he’s married with kid) but it takes 2 hands to clap, some girls in the company just go with it in order to do better in the company and they are really doing better in the company - people they have recently hired are inhumane, demanding people to work after office hours, weekends and during leaves. Demanded for people to go into the office on specific days (not team’s day) despite the company’s policy being to go office once a week on the team’s specific day. Abusing authority (threaten) their people. - very very very very very very bad management

We are very sorry to hear about your negative experience in Osome and thank you for taking your time to leave your feedback. What you have shared is definitely against the value of the company and is not the way we want to build our corporate culture. Osome has an open door policy and implements different layers of approving rounds before one gets promoted. We value our people and thus making sure all promotions are fair and above board. I'm surprise your experience comes forth quite differently and would like to invite you to speak with your local HR to understand your frustration and dissatisfaction.

Pros

Osome has a supportive and diverse engineering team that encourages professional growth and knowledge sharing. There’s a strong emphasis on building scalable, modern systems and you get exposure to a wide range of technologies. Flexible work arrangements and good work-life balance make it a comfortable environment.

Cons

Sometimes project requirements can change quickly, which may cause occasional shifts in priorities. As the company is scaling, processes are still evolving.

Pros

i. Flexible working arrangement that allows a good balance between work and personal commitments. The hybrid setup works well and gives employees autonomy over their schedules. ii. One of the best aspects of the company is the people. Colleagues are approachable, supportive, and make even busy periods more enjoyable. iii. Exposure to different clients, industries, and situations provides a steep learning curve, especially for those looking to develop their technical and problem-solving skills. iv. Growth opportunities are available for those who are willing to take initiative and continuously improve.

Cons

i. The pace can be intense during peak periods, especially when multiple deadlines overlap. ii. Performance is measured through various KPIs, which can sometimes feel overwhelming alongside day-to-day responsibilities. iii. As the company continues to grow, processes and expectations may evolve quickly, requiring employees to adapt frequently.
