Pros

Good colleagues, Good pantry, nothing else worth mentioning

Cons

- Poor communication and management style in my opinion - Lack of proper documentation - In my experience, communication in the workplace could often feel tense, with raised voices being more common than I expected, which some might view as unprofessional and unpleasant - Team morale can be affected by communication styles that some employees may find demotivating, frustrating and sometimes even leaving them feeling undervalued and unheard - Low employee benefits compared to market - okay pay, no WFH - Not working with modern/popular tech stack and focuses more on domain knowledge hence I think not much opportunities to grow technical knowledge

Dear Reviewer, We would like to address a few points in your review. • We work in a deep tech specialised industry and gaining domain knowledge is an important part of the employee growth. Application of the same domain knowledge in combination with technology is what a deep tech company is all about. • Employee retention is a key aspect of our processes. This can be seen from the large percentage of employees with more than 5 years of service in the company as part of the team. Our attrition rate is less than 10% and we pride in keeping well networked with our “alumni” community. • We understand your experience with the organisation wasn’t ideal. Thank you for your feedback.

Pros

Flexibility - the company give a lot of freedom for you to manage your tasks as long as deliver on time. And there is tolerance for delays if there is reasonable explanation. Empowerment - you are able to make decision or give suggestion on your own. In the discussion, they (colleagues/manager) will guide you instead of controlling you. Interesting work - Able to see bigger picture when doing job. E.g. understand the reasons behind the features, contribution idea when designing a new features. Salary - the pay is good and meet my expectations. Friendly and supportive colleagues - people there is very supportive!

Cons

Documentation - the documentation is not very organize now. Some time need to find the right person to get answers. Too tolerant to clients request - sometimes, even not reasonable requests need to be fulfilled. But this is understandable as this is a third party company to get project contract.

Pros

Decent office space. That's all.

Cons

In my experience, I often had to work overtime due to tight deadlines and last-minute changes, which added unnecessary stress. I also experienced managers raising their voices at staff during meetings or at their desks, which created a tense and demoralizing work environment for us. I felt that the company lacks proper code documentation and transparency in some employment policies, which made processes feel unclear. Personally, the restrictive working hours and lack of a WFH option felt stifling, and the constant turnover of colleagues made the workplace feel unstable and disruptive. In my opinion, I don’t find this company ideal. The focus seemed to be more on domain knowledge, with limited opportunities to practice good coding habits or improve working practices.

Dear Reviewer, It is important for us to address some of your comments. • We work in a deep tech specialised industry and deadlines can thus be tight indeed. • Furthermore, due to the nature of the industry we work in, WFH is not practical. We do have WFH policies which are applied on a case-by-case basis. • We have had less than 10% employee turnover in the past year. Your comment is clearly erroneous. • D-SIMLAB is proud to be an organisation with not only a thriving workforce but an equally engaged “alumni” community. We understand your experience with the organisation wasn’t ideal. Thank you for your feedback.
