    Communication is poor
    The good thingsUnlimited leaves, Colleagues
    The challengesManagement at this company has serious attitude issues. When you ask about tasks mentioned in emails, they often respond with rhetorical, condescending questions. Their emails are vague, auto-generated using chatgpt, full of '—' and no clarity, just full of AI guessing stuff for you to do your work. Even simple questions get brushed off with, common replyies, 'read the email again', if you ask, they will just copy and paste the paragraph and sent it to you, which just leads to going in circles. There’s no EQ or real communication skills. And when the boss is in a bad mood, many of us just take annual leave to avoid the toxic environment and office politics.

    If I wanted to be political i would be in politics.
    The good thingsThere are some pretty colleagues which did make my job less stressful.
    The challengesLow budget for snacks and my desk is supremely tight. Lots of politics in this company. Really funny as one of their motto itself was to disable politics.

    Different from what was said during interview
    The good thingsFlexible, unlimited leaves, people are kinda friendly
    The challengesThe work is even worse as compared to what i used to be in my previous companies. The workload was massive and expectation was killing. Regret joining the company.

    Apr 2020
    1 to 2 years in the role, current employee
    Unstable, risky and stressful with lower than expected perks
    The good thingsThe company offers flexibility (not all in the company), unlimited annual leaves (this is the most attractive offers however, still subject to approval) and wonderful colleagues.
    The challengesBeing a start-up, the stress level in the company is high (demanding). Those in a more stable companies such as Banks/FI, MNC and etc, the stress level is comparable but the benefits are not as great (perks, bonus. salary). Stability is in doubt as the financial position may not be sustainable. Company just did a mass retrenchment few weeks ago. Hence, those already having a stable job, its best to stay at where you are. Being last in may result in first out. The work and process flow are still very messy. Unless you are from a company worse off, then u will struggle in this company.

    Sub par startup, sub par leaders
    The good thingsGreat colleagues that I enjoyed working with.
    The challengesOvergrowing without proper planning. Mass firing of colleagues. Looked like a market leader but is actually worse off than its competitors. Bad management!

    Disillusioned company
    The good thingsExpanded very quickly. But that came a price.
    The challengesHeavy losses from serious defaults. No action taken by management to curb the issue. However, my teammates that worked hard were penalized for another team's shortcomings. Management largely unaffected too!

    The good thingsBusy all the time initially. Very productive.
    The challengesMismanagement by the leaders on the finances. Business will be tougher in the coming months as nobody will want to borrow money from us.

    Hard times but believe will rebound
    The good thingsCaring colleagues, interesting space and enjoy the challenge. Leaders doing as best as they could, I learn a lot.
    The challengesTypical challenge of a startup, especially given MCO and bad market conditions. Freedom also means unstructured and more stressful, not for everyone.

    Scary actions by the company
    The good thingsStartup with lots of freedom to expand my ideas
    The challengesCompany looks really unstable now. They just did a mass firing. Thinking if I should find another job now. The management actually said we are free to leave if we want. Unsettling.

    Unstable and High Risk
    The good thingsUnlimited annual leaves, flexible and nice colleagues.
    The challengesCrazy work life with high expectation. Process flow are still very much in haywire and unstable. Company may be unstable so those experience people who used to work in great benefits, this may not be the company u may want to join.

    It's bloody risky to take up offer to join FS
    The good thingsFriendly colleagues, can be good friend.
    The challengesStressful and very high risk joining this company. You wouldn't know if you are the next to get retrenchment. Very short notice given and access ceased immediately right after announcement. The management gave very lame excuses. All the best to the remaining staff

    Good vibes, Young & Enthusiastic, Poor management
    The good thingsI enjoy working here as the colleagues are friendly and lot's of activities. This is the first company that offering so called unlimited annual leaves.
    The challengesVery stressful company, growth rapidly but poorly managed. The management of this company is messed. Very politics among managers & leads. Besides, the top management is poorly manage this company. Can feel like they don't really know how to manage stakeholders, including staffs, companies and issuers.

    Poor management - poor ceo
    The good thingsUnlimited annual leave (but dont think you can apply though) Nice office Friendly colleagues Team activities
    The challengesStressful, poor management, company politics. Company downsizing due to bad economy and covid 19. We had video call meetings in the morning, mentioning that will retrench staffs, 3pm immediately receive letter and ask you to leave. Management is poor, especially the top management across the countries. They will keep mentioning good opportunities, and the next day give you letter ask you to leave.
