Pros

Somewhat successful in spite of CEO. People work hard, are flexible, collaborative. A Singapore based company with potential.

Cons

Failure to launch - poor execution keeps it from being competitive in the market. Singapore company which means many late nights and early mornings. 10+ hour days. Benefits not competitive in the US (low salaries, no retirement/401K, private insurance). Caustic, unhealthy work environment. Public reprimanding. Must have thick skin. Inexperienced, angry founder. Poor and inconsistent communication. Best for those who are young with no family looking to build a resume. Not a place for those who value work life balance or clear strategic vision.

Thank you for your review of Cialfo, we appreciate all feedback. As a growing startup we are consciously improving with everything we do. Due to our time zone differences of 12 to 15 hours, we balance meetings out. Wellbeing of people and their families are important to us, and we have private insurance for all colleagues across all the offices. We have had private insurance for our US colleagues since June 2019. However, we are always looking into various options to improve our benefit offerings and ensure our colleagues wellbeing’s are looked after. Do drop us an email at jessie@cialfo.com.sg with any additional feedback as we continuously improve ourselves as an organization.
