Upper Management should place greater emphasis on listening to employee feedback.
Pros
- The rapidly expanding business offers numerous opportunities for learning and growth through the new challenges it presents. - The business team demonstrates strong execution plans and valuable market insights.
Cons
- There is a significant compensation gap between current employees and newcomers, even when the current employees have been with the company longer and have performed above average. This disparity is viewed as unfair and discourages many from considering long-term tenure, as it does not seem worthwhile. - Unreasonable cost-cutting measures are affecting day-to-day productivity. For instance, snacks and drinks have been moved to vending machines, which, while understandable as it pertains to benefits, has other repercussions. The engineering team in Singapore is using outdated 2019 MacBook models, which are significantly slower and negatively impact productivity. Additionally, employees are required to pay for repairs out-of-pocket, even in cases of accidental damage, without reimbursement. Despite numerous feedback submissions, there has been no response or update from the person in charge. This lack of support and outdated equipment in 2024, compared to the faster M1 MacBooks used by the Dev Center in China, undermines the engineering team’s ability to deliver high-quality, productive work. This discrepancy has a clear negative impact on overall productivity.
