Employees appreciate the convenient location near Orchard Road with easy access by public transport, as well as the friendly and approachable colleagues across departments. The benefits are good, including affordable canteen food, and working hours are generally reasonable, typically from 8:30am to 6pm with limited overtime outside of peak periods.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as noise levels in the office due to frequent loud talking and gossip in specific departments, limited opportunities for career development and training with some employees feeling stuck in their roles, a bureaucratic structure with multiple levels of approval that may slow down processes, and tight deadlines and high pressure in certain roles, particularly in HR, which can impact work-life balance.
