House of Cards

System Administrator (Former Employee) - singapore - April 17, 2023

Toxic culture, does not care about their employees. You are just a headcount they want to get rid of but refuse to pay you for retrenchment, so management will try to manage you out by playing games with you. Heartless and cold.

Average working condition and pay

SAP Consultant (Current Employee) - Changi - April 12, 2023

Salary can be low if you don’t negotiate with the HR, so always negotiate for a higher one. Salary increment is also quite low for contract workers, need to give 2 months notice before resigning.

Lot to learn things but lot of work

Network Administrator (Former Employee) - Singapore - March 17, 2022

Deployed as site engineer in one of the client. You will be the face of IBM to the very demanding client. You will learn a lot but prefer for busy hands on work on site. On call 24/7 anytime of the night you might go to site for troubleshooting.
