    What’s it like working at VAT Group?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    VAT Group offers a notably positive work experience with its clean and supportive work environment, coupled with flexible working arrangements including hybrid options. Employees particularly value the company's investment in advanced technology and high-tech machinery, and many achieve good work-life balance through effective task prioritisation. The company culture is generally positive, with supportive colleagues and modern facilities.

    Areas for improvement include the need for more comprehensive training and standard operating procedures, particularly during system implementations. Some employees note limited career progression opportunities in certain departments. As the company grows from an SME to an MNC, there are some challenges with management decisions and organisational cohesion that need to be addressed.

    Please think twice before you accept job offer
    The good thingsWork environment and hybrid work mode
    The challengesNo training given and no SOP before and after new system rollout , canteen food terrible even multiple times of feedback there is no improvement all , management is terrible/ toxic /some was bad tempered and without any knowledge to be leader and like to blame workers , lower and upper management insist want employee to use unrealistic way of doing things while it can be done in a more systematic way. working style here is like playing taichi ,push responsibilities around .high employee turnover rate. No career progression and very low increment for employee even if you exceed expectation . If you are hardworking and know a lot of things ,you will be requested to do more as they say the rest don't know how to do but you won't get any extra awards or increment for it ,please work smart and pretend you don't know ,it will make your life easier.
