Kontras
- Extremely toxic culture. Unlike a large corp where you can escape the noise, the toxicity here is unavoidable. The politics are draining, and you’ll watch colleagues shift their entire personalities just to please CXOs. Leadership is quick to shift blame and throw you under the bus when things go sideways. - CEO’s personal perception of you matters, not your outcomes. He decides who is "good" or "bad," and that constant silent judgment dictates your growth and job security. - The leadership in Marketing, Product and Design has been a revolving door since late 2024. The constant cycling of Heads of Departments leaves those teams in total chaos. Don't expect mentorship; expect to survive on your own. - Those who have a family, beware. Commitment is measured by "optical overtime." If you aren't staying late just to be seen, you are labeled as insufficient. - Leadership preaches "culture", but it’s purely transactional. It’s an investment banking mindset where you are a line item, not a person. It won't change because the tone is set at the very top. Company doesn't care about retaining people which makes it hard for the team on the ground to pick up pieces. - There’s a quote on the Singapore office wall: "Pressure is a privilege." It isn't. It is just a cover for a toxic environment. You don’t realize it until you are out of the system. Think twice if you value your mental health.
