Pros

The usual tech company perks - Long vacation (unlimited in fact) - Flexible hours - Nice office

Cons

- Delusional management team, thinking we're rolling out revolutionary products - The products built are of extremely low quality, by industry standard, or any standard - Execution is poor, very poor. We have 5-6 teams focusing on building products, and the status is still building after more than a year - Coordinations between teams are so bad, partly because of the me, myself and I self-interest only culture - Incompetency across all levels - The restructuring exercise held was so poorly done that it's disgusting than just distasteful - Easily the one of the worst cultures and most toxic environment I've experienced

Thank you for taking some time to leave us your feedback. We recognize that pursuing our mission to improve people’s financial health and building Asia’s leading financial supermarket brings with it unique challenges. Sometimes this does mean making difficult choices and such decisions are never taken lightly. But we also believe that there are many opportunities for our bears to learn and grow. We hope every bears experience with us will be enriching and we are committed to helping our teams focus their energies, work as a team, and foster open communication. It is nice to hear that you’re fan of our leave policy and flexible working style. We love it too and this goes a long way to allowing every bear to plan their day and find the right balance between home and work. We miss every bear that leaves us, again thank you for the review and we wish you all the best!
