Overall the work can be daunting but exciting.

Concierge Consultant - Flex (Former Employee) - Changi Business Park - August 2, 2019

I worked at Aspire Lifestyles and sadly, they have a horrid culture . The Manager is ineffective and constantly on smoke breaks with her staff who supposedly should be on the dial Biggest drawback is the high attrition rates there .They put staff on flex who show that they are more capable if they were properly hired with benefits . The culture sucked big time! I would like to see a revamp of this department if I ever were to return to it. CS is a terrible manager who goes on these smoke breaks and pretend to have the backing of her staff. A poorly organised department that needs a wake up call and management cleansing.

Pros

Good pantry and mingling with the medical, tricare staffers - Doctors are the friendliest and I have deep respect for them

Cons

Aspire Lifestyles needs a revamping big time

The worst work environment and culture I’ve ever worked in

Confidential (Former Employee) - Odeon Towers - January 25, 2018

International SOS was the worst work environment and culture I’ve ever encountered. The manager I worked for showed lor leadership and would routinely kick his subordinates under the bus for his own ineptness.

Pros

Free fruits that nobody wants anyway eg shrivelked up tangerines

Cons

Too many to name

An international company with local mindset

NA (Current Employee) - Singapore - August 20, 2017

People are generally nice and helpful. Depending on the department, if you have western supervisor it is generally quite good, work culture can be open and rewarding. Company has recently starting to invest in IT infrastructure which can help to increase work efficiency.

Pros

Flexi-work arrangement, exposure to cross countries project.

Cons

Limited career advancement opportunity, networking is very necessary, uneven allocation of resources caused a lot of politics

Great experience

Senior data manager (Former Employee) - Singapore - January 3, 2017

Wonderful time in such an international oriented company culture. So many people from various backgrounds, countries, cultures, with great experiences and expertise which makes each day different form the others ones. The company went through strong turmoil from time to time which can be stressful but the fact that the core business is to save life gives the energy to face hard times, and the reward at the end is priceless. The other positive part of the job is the possibilities to discover new technologies or to join projects and teams with an expertise that motivate to take on new challenges.

Pros

People oriented

the most enjoyable part of the job

Team Leader – Assistance Centre Billing (Former Employee) - Singapore - July 20, 2015

working with colleagues of different countries, different races. understanding their culture, character and the way they work. Billing, though more or less standardized with the billing guidelines, is still not easy as sometimes we end up with different opinions, different interpretation of a certain scenarios. Somewhat challenging, however colleagues discussed and resolve the issues.

Pros

Fruit of the Day

Cons

Long hours
