      The 5-star reviews are fake, Created by bosses forcing employees to write them

      Pros

      - "Free" education conveniently comes with a two-year work bond attached. - The generous two-year completion bonus of $5,000 SGD is whittled down to a remarkable net of less than $500 SGD. - The company's business model ensures the bosses grow wealthier while you see your income dwindle. - The contract price of $6,600 SGD is split so that employees receive a percentage, resulting in a total income of $2,000 to $2,400 SGD (before deductions) from base pay and commission.

      Cons

      - Workers are compelled to write 5-star reviews on Google and Glassdoor - Salary deductions are a common occurrence - The company has a reputation for being highly cost-conscious - Two-year bonds require repayment of "study fees" between $20,000 and $30,000 if you leave the company early. The company targets individuals in need and uses persuasive tactics to bring them on board - Salary calculations are complex and unclear, making it difficult to understand how compensation and deductions are determined. - Salary deductions may exceed the actual salary earned, particularly if you miss workdays, potentially resulting in you owing the company money - The company is a family-run business, where the owner's children complicate the work environment. - Management is well-versed in MOM regulations and only offers the minimum benefits required by law. - Attempts to dispute company practices are futile, as the contract you sign contains clauses that prevent you from challenging them.

      Hi, Thank you for your review and feedback. We are sorry for your bad experience with us. While we work very hard to provide a platform for young fresh graduates to kickstart and develop their engineering careers with us, unfortunately not everyone is suited for this programme. This programme requires keen, versatile, open-minded, self-driven fresh graduates who are ready to adapt to how quickly the AEC industry is changing. To clarify your statements: 1. As we are a Traineeship Programme, we employ fresh graduates and not everyone prove themselves to be job-ready. It seems you have been reprimanded by our MD for misbehavior and consistently poor performance, and was therefore left disgruntled. Due to our MD's nurturing tendencies, he will step in when he finds that a Trainee is not putting in his/her best efforts in learning on-the-job. He is otherwise very busy all the time, so it wouldn't make sense to be monitoring or targeting any particular Trainee at any one time. 2. CCTVs are installed for training audit purposes so that we can maintain the highest quality of training to be offered to our Trainee Engineers. We also do not practice pay cutting, unless disciplinary issues and misconduct have become out of hand after progressive disciplinary actions. There is usually no compelling reason to do so unless there is severe disciplinary issues with the Trainee. 3. As mentioned above, we practice progressive disciplinary action. For Trainees who refuse to be assigned on projects and choose to be disruptive in class despite repeated counselling/warnings, we advise them to take a break and reflect on how they should get their act together. 4. We wish to assure you that it is most certainly not because because "the boss do not like to see your face". We do not practice discrimination against physical appearance, and we are sorry that you feel that way. We seek your understanding that we also want to minimize class disruption to be fair to Trainees who are actually keen to learn. Once again, thank you for your review and feedback! We will continue to work hard in providing a platform for young fresh graduates to step into and carve a promising career in the AEC industry. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. :) Best Wishes, HR Team On behalf of AcePLP Group

      Nah, There no good things to share about this company. all BIM/CAD Engineers are eager to leave. Please, think twice before you sign. If you think this review is just to bring this company down, go ahead and sign. We welcome you with open arms to join us through an agony journey.

      Cons

      There are certainly many reasons why you should not work or think about working with aceplp. 1. Their so called 'Trainer' are certainly one of the worst trainer you will ever meet. 2. When you are out for attachments, you will realize that what you are doing is something that every engineer can do. So practically, you're just wasting your time. 3. The company's benefits are ridiculous. no 13th month allowance. If you visit a private hospital/clinic, it will consider as unpaid leave. You can only claim up to $10. So imagine if you have a family doctor. All will go down to trash. Extremely low pay. You will go broke everything month unless you have prior savings. 4. They will charge your client as high as Everest but you get a tiny sum out of it. That means, whatever they brief you about profit sharing, its not to the point then you will realize that its not a profit sharing. Theyre just eating your money. 5. You will have to submit timesheet at the end of every month and lets say your client is not around to sign it, your pay will be delayed and whatever the reason is, you will still get your pay delayed. 6. They train you at the very basic of drafting (something that you can learn on youtube yourself) and will tie you to a bond that holds an amount of your/your gf's dowry money. lol. 7. Management will always get on your nerves. They will always have this 'adjustments' from IT to finance team. At certain point you just cant get your email logged in and at other point, your money will be deducted for the month due to those "adjustments" 8. The company is run by a family. They will keep an eye on you all the time. CCTV on everywhere you move but videos are kept up to 3 days, what a joke right. 9. When you have trouble with client at site (e.g. argue with client, client not being nice, client finding trouble with you or anything that is not your fault) they will not side on you nor investigate the situation but will sub salt on your wound.
