Circles.Life Reviews

Pros

Good culture for learning, allows you to make mistakes and learn from them. Company tries to make employees happy the same way they do for customers. Like the team outings and company lunches.

Some old-timers are becoming complacent and too proud to work with.

Advice to Management

Create a culture of continuous improvement, and manage those who have become too proud and difficult to work with. There should be a culture reassessment of these people or something.

Pros

Great Working culture and founders, Good Lead and friendly team, Another big thing from Singapore, Fast Growing startup

Cons

Better pay for employees

Pros

On a non-technical team, but I've been here a while and hang out fairly often with people across the company, at different levels of the hierarchy and different departments, so I think I have a fairly good idea of what's going on. In summary. Individual bad-egg managers and typical tech / startup scaling pains really drag down the experience. These are real problems, and they cause real pain for some of us. At...

Cons

> CONS < 1. Work-life balance. Think the right policies are in place...we have a work from home policy now, and broadly managers are flexible. Ultimately though it boils down to your individual manager, and business needs. Not every manager respects your off-time (nights, weekends) or is understanding to your needs - so, in other words, just like anywhere else. Where it gets really frustrating is when you...

Advice to Management

1. Put dedicated people: full time, part time, interns, contract, whatever; on fixing all the small admin pain points like inefficiency, lack of communication, or even culture. Just make that their whole job and give them the time and space to fix it. It's bleeding people dry and it will cost you more in pain, time, and leaving employees than any cost savings by not doing this. 2. Know it's difficult. But we need...

Pros

This is an upbeat company with its eye always on the ball. If you yearn for growth, it's a place to find that in spades. There is always something to be done, and with a lot of people willing to help, it's certainly somewhere with opportunities to stretch yourself and thrive.

Cons

More structure (or at the very least, a discrete chain of processes), and more communication at key junctures would be useful for the company's sustained growth.

Advice to Management

Advice to Management

Less emphasis on Space Explorers, and do more to support general population.

-The higher ups set very unrealistic timelines and ask developers to rush stuff .

Work life balance will be completely gone . -You can't complain about these because why ? Politics

Ownership driven company. With the flexibility given to the job scope, you could get more exposure to other tasks. Amazingly fast-growing company.

Smart colleagues Founders are actively working to improve work environments

Cons

Although they boast themselves to hold monthly team lunch and company event, these are oftentimes skipped due to a hectic work environment. There are not enough cross-team event so you will not know many outside of your team. BD team while in the meeting very often times exaggerate our current capabilities, with regards to event discover app, telco back-end, as well as insurance. The company lacks guidance and...
