Pros
  • Culture is chill, despite the fast-paced environment
  • Colleagues are super friendly
  • Shift work is manageable as it is fixed
  • Great location to get lunch outside of the company premises
Cons
  • Pay is lower than the market rate.
  • Promotion is dependent on a direct superior, and some who work for more than 10 years are still not promoted despite consistent work.
  • Highly volatile job security, which is dependent on orders.
  • Bare minimum food quality is provided at the canteen.
Advice to Management
  • Need a better promotion scheme to have a better career progression track, which will improve headcount retention
  • Mid management could better understand employee hardships on the ground instead of just pushing out tasks
  • Systems need to be calibrated to be optimal; updates sometimes break functionality instead of giving improvement, hence listening to better placed employees is a must instead of just going with traditional methods
