Syfe Reviews

- lack of transparency: management assured that they have no intention on retrenchment exercise, while on the other hand, secretly preparing for retrenchment. No warnings, no preps. Staffs are asked to pack up and leave immediately on the day of retrenchment. - Poor management decisions: 1-2 mths after the retrenchment exercise, company started hiring again. You think it’s fun to fire ppl? - toxic & Poor culture: CEO mentioned during 1 of the town-hall that if you come to work from ‘9am-6pm’, job here is not right for you and it will be better for you to leave. Old fashion mentality! Advocates longer working hours but not efficiency!? And even if you work hard, you get retrenched anyway! - and you don’t get bonus too! & peanuts pay increments.

Culture went all downhill since mid of this year. On the surface, it seems like a fun start-up but has deep rooted issues and lack of trust with employees. Many of the good people already left. Hard to get things done when everything is deemed to be high priority. You need to work doubly hard to reach the expectations with lack of support. People good at talking big or only the good stuff tends to be seen more favourably as opposed to the true quality of their work. It is also sad to see the truthful Glassdoor reviews being removed as they try hard to maintain an image.
