Unsustainable working environment with a terrible boss

Pros

- This company takes pretty much anyone with a degree - You only have to tolerate this company for at most 1 to 2 years because you are going to leave this company within this timeframe anyway - This company teaches you how to say no; there will be a lot of garbages (figuratively) hurled at you and the only way you can keep yourself sane is to say no to them

Cons

- A large number of employees are fresh graduates - If you looked at the other reviews of this company, you can pretty much understand the general sentiments of the employees in this company. - Unprofessional management; Cursing and disrespectful speeches are a common sight, not to mention childish and provocative behaviours towards entities/individuals that they dislike - Indecisive management; Management likes to say something and then proceed to change their mind a few days later - For most people who have left this company for reasonable reasons, they generally have to endure quite a bit of hardships during the resignation process, while management like to basically treat them as traitors after they left - Heavy workloads; no matter which department you are in, you are generally expected to handle 2-3 jobs minimum at the same time. And if someone resigns, have fun taking over the projects left behind because obviously they are not going to hire another person if there are existing employees to pile these jobs on - Vague job scopes; due to the aforementioned point, you are somehow also expected to do jobs outside your job descriptions (which was vague in the first place) - Lack of guidance; management like to assign jobs to you with minimum explanations and guidance, and also you probably wouldn't have any sufficiently experienced seniors to guide you because they have already left the company - Ever-changing company policies; the best part about this company is simply how a lot of policies change within a few months - Free unpaid overtime and minimal benefits: the perfect combo; 10 days annual leave on your first year. If you do decide to get sick, pray that you don't need any medications because you can only claim consultation fees. If you want to travel to site directly from home or vice versa while claiming taxi fees? Too bad you can only claim for that after 9pm. If the job you are doing somehow caught the interest of the boss? Amen because you have to come to work on Saturdays for as well for some sweet sweet unpaid overtime. If you refuse or unable to comply with this? You have to "build some social life in Singapore" as quoted from our management. - As a bonus, I wonder if this review will get a reply; if it does, compare the reply to this review and you can clearly see the problem with this company - If you think this review was all I could say about this company, think again because there are so much more poor management decisions that I am simply too lazy to type out

Pros

Co-worker is extremely helpful and willing to lend you a hand even when they're busy. Little to none politic in the company, very unlikely to get sabotaged. Get the chance to do vast diversity of works, even though that won't make you an expert in certain area.

Cons

This could go endless, but long story short, it's the matter of company culture and management, as well as the person in charge. Inhumane management, and treat employee like a workhorse as if workers are the robot built in the company with no personal life and drink petrol to live. New employees are often thrown into deep ocean and expect to survive with no diving gears and dive tank offered to you.

Pros

Except one of them, most managers are quite nice, they will teach u many things humbly and helps out whenever they can. Very nice place to start your career if you wish to be a workaholic and learn lots of stuff.

Cons

Boss has a big big ego. Salary wise, meh, bonus wise, non existent. You will not be treated fairly. Company policy change like flipping Prata.
