Pros

Decent salary for back office staff Good health insurance coverage Good office location right above Raffles Place Mrt 20 days of annual leave. Contract roles could be converted to permanent roles Junior staff are friendly and easy to get along with Hybrid working (but subject to your dept head or team leaders) Good learning ground for people new to shipping and trading

Cons

Leaders and management that impose high workload and unnecessary reports on the junior staff. Lack of synergy between the departments Department heads and leaders are constant fighting against one another. Interco working relationship with the New Zealand entity is not great. Lack of recognition for employees who truly deserved it Long timers promoted based on their tenure not on their leadership capabilities and technical knowledge. Some leaders lack of commercial knowledge and the actual industry practice of how does shipping and trading works High attrition rates of team leaders and seniors. Inefficient and ineffective trading CTRM system. Suppose to roll out a new CTRM, but they abolish this year. Now the system is very manual tracking for all departments. No teamwork across departments, lack of true ownership, lack of 1 true source data.
