Pros

None that can be mentioned

Cons

Very pathetic recruitment process. The TA team don't even bother contacting you or replying to your mails only automated emails that ask for details but no update on it , email for technical test but then will not share the link even after giving a date and further follow-ups. speaks a lot about the culture and management of a organization when they are so rude, apathetic and lacking in basic professional decency.

Pros

- Friendly colleagues - Lots of opportunities to challenge yourself and work on projects on your own - Good work life balance

Cons

- No structure, very informal and last minute verbal changes - Senior staff abusing their position, shutting down good ideas - "one man says all" type of management - Even the HR department is toxic, always hear petty fights - Get used to managers demeaning you P.S. This company always hire interns to do full-timer job and full-timer workload. Very high turn-over rates for all departments because senior managers very toxic.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We regret to hear about your experience at Activate. We value all our current and former employees’ feedback to help the company become a better place to work. We are working hard to build a great culture at Activate and improve processes and structures that will empower our people to be the best. We have been incorporating our company values, specifically “Innovation”, “Effective Communication”, “Progression”, and “Excellence” in our various communication and engagement plans. Our objective is for these values to be embedded in the everyday work that our employees do, including our interns. No academic experience is complete without a real-world stage for performance and results. At Activate, we treat our interns like full-time associates and assign them to actual and meaningful projects to extend their learning experiences that are not available in the classroom. Interns are paired with the more experienced staff during the internship period, who will guide and help the interns during their tenure with Activate. This internship experience builds character, tenacity and perseverance in overcoming challenges. We also constantly encourage employees to share their concerns and opinions with the management, as we believe that two-way communication will help facilitate the constant growth of both leaders and employees. This sense of authenticity can also help foster an inclusive environment. We take your feedback seriously as we believe in continuous improvement. Again, thanks for taking out the time to write a review. We wish you all the best in everything you do!

Pros

Nothing positive. They dont have any new clients or projects

Cons

No growth at all. Long working hours and at the end they fire you once job is done. Do not join if you looking for job security and work life balance.

Thank you for your feedback. We have ongoing and new projects and continue to hire based on their requirements. Partners from the recruitment search segment continue to contact us to offer their services as they notice our hiring. As technology evolves, despite our efforts to support our staff to reskill and upskill, some still face challenges transitioning and become undeployable. Hence, we continue to hire from the external market to meet the client’s requirements even though this adds to our operating costs. The cyclical nature of project work results in high and lull periods for all our staff involved in the project, this is inevitable for our industry. While we empathise with them when they must put in extra time and effort to meet project requirements, we are glad they also have opportunities to relax and recharge when their involvement winds down. Once again, thank you for your feedback.
