Pros

The colleagues are friendly and helpful. Free lunch (like with most reviews below)

Cons

Terrible management, obnoxious made-up rules, ridiculous CCAs to attend and non-compliance to safety rules during COVID 1. CCAs like Sports Day where we are forced to stay after WORKING HOURS - if you truly want your employees to stay fit, shouldn't these CCAs be held during working hours? No. and if you declare that you aren't able to make it, you are asked to give a reason. 2. If you take MC (even within the contract), the HR will start to chase you for answers. You are also invited for a meet up session to understand why you take MC, only because they sorta want to instill fear in you. 3. Blood donation. You are only hired if you can donate blood. There are some employees who have been hired despite being unable to donate. If you cant, u r forced to give a reason. 4. Compulsory to donate 1% of my salary as part of giving to the seed fund (charitable initiative). They will track those who do not and those who don't are often mocked by them. What if there are those who have financial difficulties? 5. Compulsory to wear white on Mondays. Wear also need you control? 6. During the COVID period, it was compulsory to work in the kitchen and help out for food packing. Company refuses to hire more part timers but choose to activate the HQ staff. We were also asked to take No Pay Leave once a week. There are so many disturbances, the expectations and datelines were still tight like usual times. Are you asking me to OT on my weekends and time off then? 6. When there were many community cases and the government advised people to Work From Home, there was little arrangement for the staff. The roles we held were not considered essential. However, we still came to the office everyday because the big guy liked to 'see' people in the office. 6. The authorities came to check and inspect the office and because some rules were broken due to the large number of people in the office, each time they came to check the HR team would panic and send people home immediately. If you don't want to be caught, don't do illegal stuffs 7. So many perverts and sexist comments that I have heard in the office. will say openly how much he dislikes people who are fat and will comment how much girls need to lose weight to stay pretty. also loves to create standards for women in all areas like hairstyles, looks, dressing. Sorry, it's 2020. I can go on and on about how unprofessional this place is and the double standards created. But the above should justify. Also interview shouldn't ask personal questions like are you married and all. This is PERSONAL.

Pros

Nice colleague. Lunch is included. That's it.

Cons

Before you consider joining this company, please make sure you are okay with what is shared here first: - Highly encouraged~ blood donation and monthly donation (feel forceful even though they do not say it explicitly) - Since it is an F&B establishment, helping out during festive periods in kitchen is expected even for office executives - Highly encouraged~ to attend/help out for duties beyond your job scope but no appreciation. (Highly encouraged to go Saturday monthly event in 2026 at the expense of your own rest, no off-in-lieu, packaged under the idea it is a "bonding" event.) - Very poor benefits - A lot of red tape sometimes for some project

Pros

The only pros is free food.

Cons

Honestly, this company only looks good from the outside. Compared to other companies in Singapore, your hard work don’t really reflect in your wallet. Bonus and increment also meh, and benefits almost bare minimum. Bonus is not guaranteed FYI. Employees often overworked, deadlines always last minute, and overtime expected but rarely compensated properly. During **festive periods like Chinese New Year or Christmas**, forget about half‑day vibes — everyone still must work full day, no exceptions. Your festive mood? Gone lor. Then hor, management **forces donations** in “encouraging” way. Every employee *“encouraged”* to give 1% of their salary. They say *“we don’t force lah”*, but you feel very pressured to give anyway — like, really subtle way to guilt trip you. Management also suka ask for **feedback**, but don’t take it seriously. Give them constructive ideas? Most of the time *they ignore or dismiss* — like, “we hear you” but nothing change one. Old‑school passive‑aggressive vibes everywhere. Collaboration often just means *“do it my way and smile”*. So in short: **low pay, meh benefits, long hours, no half‑days during festive period, mandatory‑ish donation, and feedback doesn’t go anywhere**. Some colleagues chill, office environment sometimes okay, but if you looking for appreciation, real innovation, or decent work‑life balance — better look elsewhere lah. You survive, maybe eat free lunch but don’t expect to feel valued or rewarded. Work here long-term? Only if you can overlook everything.
