Working environment - Assistant Finance Manager Mitrade Group Employee Review

1. Pretty good work life balance 2. Pay comes in on time 3. Pantry is pretty good That's about it

1. Inadequate support from higher management 2. Working with external teams can make you pull your hair 3. Direction from upper management is like asking your mum whether you can go out to play but she says go ask your dad. And the cycle repeats itself 4. Chinese language for business conversations is needed as such, huge learning curve and inefficient at times when you need to translate things. 5. Management has inculcated a ever-learning-environment by not implementing proper turnover SOP. As such, you are learning everything from scratch once someone leaves. 6. Expect yourself to constantly contemplate whether or not you have communication issues with how individuals respond to instructions and queries.

- It's at Suntec City, so it's quite accessible. - The HR executives really made the interview and hiring process feel quite smooth. - You'll definitely be able to improve your Chinese.

- The capabilities of overseas counterparts are extremely questionable. - Your workflow is heavily dependent on whether overseas counterparts can deliver. Most times, you are just waiting on them before they can deliver which can sometimes take weeks. - For those who think that you can bring your experiences and expertise from previous jobs to this company, think again. You'll be extremely surprised that you won't be able to, unless you are the ones who are extremely favoured by management. - For a company that is global, very little seems to have been properly established. This leads to tremendous confusion from many departments. - Making the higher ups happy seem to be more important than starting / doing things right. People hired in the higher up positions also do not seem to have the required expertise / knowledge in their supposed roles to give strong direction.
