Retrenchment in Risk Dept, Singapore. Toxic working environment. Work-life balance is really bad. Office politics are rampant.

Advice to Management

Think twice before joining the Risk and Compliance department.

Managers don't assess or evaluate engineers on how they are able to accomplish tasks, but on what you can add extra that will benefit the company. Management prefers a talkative/noisy employee that can showcase everything to stakeholders. If you're the type of engineer that keeps the work done without talking too much, then you're in danger at year-end assessment. (A lot of good employees have gone because of this).

Work-life balance sucks. Some employees spend a lot of time in the office until evening and expect weekend overtime.
