    What’s it like working at Coherent?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Coherent appreciate the teamwork and bonding opportunities fostered through various social and recreational activities, as well as the great work environment with friendly colleagues. The company also provides employee welfare initiatives such as ergonomic furniture, health talks, and sponsored exercises. Additionally, employees find the technical work interesting and a new learning experience.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as periods of high workload requiring overtime and weekend work, difficulties in collaborating with other departments due to differing priorities and a lack of clear direction from upper management, limited career advancement opportunities, particularly for those outside of the 'inner circles', and concerns about upper management, including instances of verbal attacks that can drive away capable employees.

    Great Environment
    The good thingsWork environment is great! People are friendly and always a joy to converse with. Every quarter there are events to relief some stress from all the hard work. Work Hard, Play Hard
    The challengesWhen volume is high, it is really tough. Everyday work OT even on alternate weekends, but the management from HQ site do acknowledge our hard work so it's still not too bad.

    The good thingsVarious social recreation activities and ergonomic tables and chairs. Technical job is interesting.
    The challengesGM doesn't give clear direction for the company. Technical supporting roles are not appreciated and career advancement is non existence unless you are within the \"inner-circles\". Many good and capable people are driven away by verbal attacks from upper management.

    Summarized view of Coherent Singapore Pte Ltd
    The good thingsThe employees are very co-operative and we have our quarterly team bonding which is important in building up the teamwork. Besides that we have our weekly sports activities including health talk; not missing out the weekly snacks and fruits.
    The challengesWorking with other departments is tough, their priority and ours tend to differ. This points down to the HOD, managers and supervisors involved. It would be beneficial for all if everyone work as one team.
