Pros

- nice office near to MRT, free packet drinks in office and highly flexible with working from home - good benefits, has medical card, company hospitalisation insurance and dental coverage - Friendly colleagues and supportive environment, good training ground for fresh grad - No toxic culture and extreme politics - Used to have fun team building activities before covid - Freedom to work on any roles if you voice out, they will not stop you - basic training is provided but the rest you’ll figure out by yourself when you are working - managers are equally friendly and open for suggestions, not much hierarchy - suitable for non-sales mindset person because you only focus on sourcing roles, no business development involves.

Cons

- limited clients and jobs to work on - salary is below market rate with little increment in the industry, this is a non-sales environment so no stress on forcing you to achieve targets, more work life balance. Suitable for non-sales person and definitely not for sales-driven person - company has no commission scheme (but even if they have you will still earn nothing because the target set is almost impossible to achieve) - management likes to experiment and proposed frequent changes in team structure

BGC Group Response

Hello there! Firstly, we would like to thank you for taking time to write a really thoughtful feedback. The struggle is real anywhere in the world about how we could achieve effective listening and communication. Listening is the key to all effective communication and is important for positive human relationships. Without the ability to listen effectively, messages are easily misunderstood. As a result, communication breaks down and the sender of the message can easily become frustrated or irritated. Politics, though unwarranted, are commonplace in the working world – and most of us have would have been caught in such uncomfortable situations at least once. Learning to manage politics professionally is a skill that adaptable employees will need to learn, and we do recommend taking these few steps to respond if you come across workplace saboteurs: 1. Talk to the person directly, but in a non-confrontational manner 2. Think thoroughly about the issue 3. If necessary, escalate the issue to HR department or higher Management to solve As HR professionals, we hope employee do not remain silent or ignore the issue completely. We hope that this helps and appreciate all your feedback! All the best! Team BGC Disclaimer: Your feedback is important to us and it is taken into account. Above reply does not conclude any final decisions or actions that BGC may consider taking (e.g. investigation, analysis, evaluation) to stop or promote certain action or behavior within the Company, of which BGC is not compelled to give any further information or update.
