Grab

100 SGD taxi claims per week

Happy hour on Friday

• Definitely not a tech company.
• All product managers without technical skill ask too many questions and give the assumption that every task is easy and will only take a brief moment to complete.
• Flexible working hours is a lie, because you end up spending time at home rushing features.
• Too many new hires trying to fight for credits instead of working together as a team.
• Blame the tech if something goes wrong.
• Spent peanuts for engineering, spent the moon and sun on marketing campaigns and business consultants.
• Product managers are very inefficient, and the business team are just a bunch of inexperienced graduate MBAs.
• Some people don't wash their hands after the toilet, and we are using fingerprints to access the door.
• Trying to be better than Uber without actual realization.
• App quality is bad; grabbing everything into one app, like Nescafé 5-in-1, results in a bloated app.
• Expanding too fast, even though the current office is so packed and lacks meeting rooms.

• Cut down half of the marketing campaign budget and hire business consultants to invest in tech.
• Don't expect to hire Google/Facebook-class engineers while only paying an average salary and benefits. Grab will only become a stepping stone for good engineers.
• If you have time, go take a coding class and stop asking every question or micromanaging. If you do, we will have to spend days explaining and get no work done.
• How can you claim this is a tech company when engineering has no power to determine rollout timelines?
• Make sure those PhD graduates wash their hands after using the toilet.
• Get your vision right. Provide a safer and better transport environment for passengers and drivers, not go crazy for ride numbers.
