      POOR MANAGEMENT AT SINGAPORE SITE (ME5)

      Chemical process technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Oftens asks for feedback from employees. Management makes an effort to engage employees.

      Cons

      Lower and middle management shows favouritism towards certain employees. HR does not prioritise employee development. Too much 'nitpicking' by lower and middle managers. While management often ask for feedback, they are too slow in following up on them or there's no follow up at all. Management also shows too much focus on costs rather than improving working conditions. For a company that prides itself on being on the cutting edge of technology, ironically much of the equipment used breaks down too often.

      Excellent company with strong values, culture, and wonderful peer group

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Though not the best, but the compensation structure is above average as per the industry standards. Opportunity for international assignments would be there provided you are willing to relocate. Proven products in the market for a long period of time have created a strong brand so you enjoy the brand and reputation of the company. In most of the cases work-life balance would be there barring few functions or departments where you may have to work longer hours. Great mentoring culture so lots of learning opportunities if you are willing to learn.

      Cons

      The average age of employees is 50+ in the company so the company needs to hire lots of young people to bring in the fresh idea. Decision making seems to be too centralized and is primarily from Germany..it needs to be decentralized to the extent possible.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good company to work for. Most of the employees get own office for work. Good cafeteria and gym in NJ headquarter. Great people that helping in all questions.

      Cons

      Most of the decisions are made in Germany. Lack of day to day communication between the colleagues as most of the people are sitting in own offices. Stable structure, not a lot of promotions
