CFO turned CEO is duplicitous and thin-skinned. Don't believe what she says about wanting the truth and valuing you. They will turn on you the moment you say something that is not a polished turd. No dissent is allowed even if you're the one who overhauled how the company solved all its problems. Or when the company relies on your contacts to ride out crises on the first week of your joining. They'll just fire you because you dare to speak the truth to help the company. The CEO has a rotten reputation in the industry and with her at the helm, they'll always have a problem closing the deals they need and hire the people they need. On top of that, the last co-founder that wasn't ousted by the Witch of a CEO is living the life at one of the most expensive condos in Singapore on the company dime. Fat salaries and extravagant spending on hotels as engineers haven't gotten a pay rise in years and the company is hemorrhaging money. They told me that the company was profitable during the interview when in fact the company was losing 6 digits operationally every month. Let's talk about the CPO. Similarly duplicitous and worse of all, weak-willed that bent over backwards for the CEO even when he knows he made the wrong choice. Despite what he thinks, he does not have a firm grasp on the industry as they think. Hires, fires and strategic and operational choices seem to happen on a whim. One moment, you are working with the CTO and Product on developing new solutions and processes, the next moment, you are thrown out the door with 2mins to pack your things. Finally, let's talk about tech and operations. The company is out of touch with the industry and costs twice as much as their top competitor. On top of that, it has lesser reach and capabilities (lack of Desktop, CTV, PTV, advanced data and video options) at a higher cost. The underlying algorithm also seems to be extremely basic and does not intelligently identify fraud or buy effectively. The algorithm has one job and it can't even do that.

Review posts in 2019 to make a correct assessment of your own. As you can read in other REAL post provided, situation have changed drastically since 2019. Delusional and very sensitive management • Refuse to listen to honest feedback • they take honest feedback negatively. Need to be cautious of what you say. If not you will be out the next moment. Petty • Once you are not on good books, management will persistently find fault with you • When employee resigns, management will start to talk negatively about them • Picking on employees if they are deemed not ‘committed’ Trust issues • For some reasons, management keeps thinking that employees are abusing the system Double standards • Management do not practice what they preach. They tell employees that no medical appointment during working hours, on the other hand, certain privileged employees are allow to go for their “appointment” during office hours. • Certain privileged employees can come and leave the office as and when they wish. Go on long leaves one after another. While the rest need to repeatedly request for leave approval and some even got rejected leave. Hiring problem • This is a viscous cycle which they fail to accept. The rate that employees are leaving is faster than that the rate they could be replace. Culture • finger pointing, blame game strong • hire and fire culture • working aimlessly, no business objective • no family culture, "just a job" office Micro-managing • executive’s leaves needs to approve by the top management • relates back to trust issues
