Secretlab Reviews

I had a disappointing experience working in Secretlab. The management was inadequate, and employee’s concerns were often ignored. I’ve seen a lack of mediation in employee issues, which sometimes resulted in unfair terminations. The HR department was unprofessional and failed to maintain confidentiality, as whistleblowing incident got exposed. Some employee gets too much authority due to having a close relationship with management. Being involved in department employment matters and interviewing of new comers when employee is not of a certain ranking. Watching videos in office and OT to show that they are very hardworking. OT culture is very strong here because you’ll be deemed as lazy and a lousy employee if you do not OT. Salary / Increment matters were poorly handled, with managers blaming HR, and HR appearing clueless. Salary of colleagues was also very transparent across the favored employee. Additionally, some employees do receive special privileges, such as the ability to work from home whenever they pleased and excessive spending on meals with their close relationship with the upper management. Overall, my time at Secretlab was marred by these issues.

"Fast-tracked career" is questionable: 1) You get penalized when you don't hit your KPI because of interal strategic adjustments. 2) Your workload just keeps increasing and you don't get additional help as long as you / your work is not part of the company's bigger picture. Hiring process is a joke. I was part of the interviewing process to fill some of the positions within my team and this is how it turned out: Scenario 1: HR and I were against hiring the candidate but my immediate supervisor decided to just go ahead and offer the candidate because of his own unsound reasoning. This turned out to be more of a liability than an asset. Scenario 2: HR was never present in any of the interviews and apparently we settled not for the best candidate but just for a suitable candidate because we "had no budget". Why waste my time to be part of the screening process when my words doesn't matter at all?
