Pros
- Stable if you are a singaporean, they NEED you - Good base salary - Training provided for fresh grads - Good health coverage - Relaxing working environment(most of the time)
Cons
GENERAL: - No annual wage supplement - Stingy (Family day is only done once a year, but makes employees pay for food like samosa and french fries) - Messy employee management websites, more than 3 websites just to manage these(to manage claims/pay/benefits) - you would think a big company would have settled something so simple! - Pantry at Signature is lacking in many ways you can think of CULTURE: - Most people are hard to mingle with, as they ONLY want to eat their native food and ONLY speak in their native language - During meetings, no effort is put into speaking English - always in their native language - Most people are always late for meetings. No apologies or excuses will be given. - Everyone is late for work, tea time is every 3 hours. - Work is always done at the last minute. - No standard operating procedures even for basic things like filling up the timesheet. HUMAN RESOURCES: - HR is aggressive, they will twist your words and manipulate you according to the company's needs - HR will ask for feedback, but they are not receptive. Instead, they will shoot you down when you give negative comments - If you are a local and if you ever resign, be prepared to be hounded and attacked by the HR I was a fresh graduate who joined with my friends. HR took advantage of my friend who quit previously. At the end of the exit interview, they made my friend fill up a feedback form. One of the fields asked which company he/she is going to. My friend refused to fill up the particular field, but was told by HR he/she could not go if he/she did not fill it up. Hence, was 'forced' to fill it up. If you like your patience to be tested and feel like you are in a non-English speaking country whilst constantly wondering "WHAT IS GOING ON?", then this is the place for you.
