Pros

The co-workers were nice.

Cons

There are some serious issues in this organisation and with the leadership. These issues run deep and manifest themselves into being an extremely hostile environment. Rather than rehash a long list of concerns here, I would instead just strongly urge any potential partner, investor, investee or employee to complete a due diligence and, at minimum, a meaningful reputation check before engaging. No doubt the founder comes from some family money that commands respect at first glance. But, go beyond that in scratching the surface and get a sense of the red flags. Approach a handful of previous or existing partners/employees. Provide some comfort to them that the reputation check is entirely off-the-record so they don’t fear retaliation from the founder, and then you’ll find that people open up with honest feedback. Despite the founder’s super aggressive approach to non-disclosure agreements, my sense is that the many folks who have been burned will probably break confidentiality in a discreet chat. Main point – you should stay far away.

Appreciate that you took the time to submit this review. We have noted on your feedback, and to some extent, agree with you. However, regardless of the founder's background, please remember why someone would want to start a company. The fundamental reason for anyone to start a company or new business, is to setup something that is not available in the market, something that is believed in for a purpose that one is passionate about. And in the process, one can get too jaded due to setbacks and sabotages, and become, well, paranoid. Have taken note of your comments and we seek to improve ourselves. We are still a young company and have ways to grow, and would appreciate your support.

I tried to think, but really can't think of any

Cons

I am giving overall rating of 1 as rhats the minumum that the system allows. Bad attitude and micro managing management, lack of appreciation, scolded employees in an extremely rude manner

Thank you for taking your time to do the review. However, we'd like to point out the inaccuracies. Our brand website GoNatuur.com is online and active. While our company GoPurpose is and has always been a holding company for its investees, hence we are not in a hurry to launch the website until some time in 2024-2025. Please check back regularly for more updates. If this is your concern, we wish you would have brought up the matter to our management while you were still hired with us, and we would have advised you on company objectives and direction. Sometimes it is all about effective communication. In addition, we do not believe you would have had any contact with the CEO, as traineeships are supervised by the respective dept managers. Thank you, and we hope you would not spread such malicious rumors unnecessarily. Becky Ang GoPurpose Team Head of HR and Administration
