Pros

you can say you're employed.

Cons

1) Chinese company. 2) If you're Asian you're amazing, if you're white you're alright. All others are not valued, over worked, and verbally abused. 3) No upward mobility especially if your a person of color. 4) Lied about RSUs for those that started with the company on the US side of the house. 5) must get everything in writing because they'll lie to you. 6) No cost of living adjustment. 7) Merit increases are below 2.5%. 8) Want Directors and Managers to hand out B's and C's during employee performance evaluation. Grading scale goes S,A,B,C,D. They deliberately want you to fail so they don't have to pay you. C's get pip'd. There's a quota that needs to be met when it comes to C's and D's. Even if you do your job as asked there is a chance you'll get a C. That means no merit increase and 1/3 of your bonus if lucky. 9) waste money on big building, won't hire more resources, but will complain office is empty. 10) Buildings only have 1 bathroom for 40+ employees. 11) No hybrid for US employees. Reason being this is a Chinese company and China works 9,9,6 format. They don't want US teams to work a 9-5 schedule or work remote. 12) 9 days paid vacation instead of standard 2 weeks. China gets 3 weeks vacation... Funny how that works. 13) Will not invest in adequate resources to do your job. Will be asked to do your job with bubble gum and spit. 14) You're better off being an influencer that will advertise for SHEIN. You'll get more benefits. 15) Micro-manage you. Track all your movements. When you came into office, when you left, how long computer was open, etc.

Pros

Nice office and exposure to events

Cons

Beware! Behind the glorified stuff shown on media are slaves working for shein. Lack of basic human respect for hardworking employees, management only care about results and even people who are passionate about their work are demoralised just solely because how employees are treated here. Unrealistic expectations are placed upon employees despite how good they are, there’s no way one can get job fulfilment as all they want is more and more and more! Toxicity is very real, it is very hard to thrive in this bad environment because after a while here all you want is OUT! Things won’t change unless management is changed. Management has zero trust in employees, shortsighted and not capable to lead. There’s no clear direction and internal structure keeps changing due to the high turnover. Most importantly, management does NOT see this as a problem and improve. Always quoting “lack of headcount” as a reason, team is severely understaffed despite the turnover and expect same level of results with the remaining staff, resulting in a vicious cycle of leaving and hiring. Career progression is non-existent, however, if you’re ready to slave 997, this place might be okay for you! Workplace benefits are not competitive at all. Every backend system, reports and communication tools are in chinese for a “globalised” company, be prepared for communications and reporting in mostly Chinese. 100% DO NOT recommend.

Pros

office has a nice view

Cons

The Singapore finance accounting and reporting team is incredibly mismanaged. You will be blamed for everything and given a low performance grade if you work any less than 12 hours a day. And even if you work overtime, you will still be scolded the entire time. The work culture is incredibly toxic and the job scope is a complete mess. Yearly increments given to top employees are far below the market average. There is no future for your career if you come to work here. Please be warned.
