Cons

constant staffing shortage management using gaslighting or talking over you often persisting problems over years ignored and addressed over and over very demeaning intercompany culture, also between different teams max possible to become senior, not clear or transparent for criteria to advance ignoring inflation expecting a lot from you but very little accountability in return burdening managers with menial and administrative tasks

Pros

-WFH -Colleagues are nice -Fruits day on Wednesday

Cons

-Growing concern among employees in Singapore about the continued movement of both operational and strategic roles out of the country. -Several colleagues from the team were made redundant as their roles were relocated to Shanghai. In cases where employees resigned, some roles were not replaced locally. -Recent exits within the supply chain team were largely due to changes in management. -Job security is a concern. -Despite the team’s size (>10), HR is distant, with minimal proactive engagement or communication with employees.
