Great benefits, but deceptive hiring and poor management - Anonymous employee Equativ Employee Review

Misleading Interview Stage During the interview, I was told there was a pipeline of strong leads to grow the APAC region. In reality, there were very few quality leads, and the sales team had no confirmed deals during my entire tenure. Joining this company was a mistake - looking back, I should have stayed with my previous employer where there was much more stability and a better understanding of the role. Unclear Scope & Moving Goalposts I was frequently told I wasn't doing "enough" while being pushed to work outside my job scope. When I took the initiative to provide valuable leads for the sales team, I was told it wasn't good enough and that I should be doing the sales outreach myself. Avoidant Management My reporting manager was not part of the interview process, which was a major red flag. He was consistently avoidant, often cancelling our weekly 1-1 calls at the last minute. No constructive feedback was ever provided, yet this lack of communication was somehow used against me in performance discussions. There is a clear lack of empathy and a failure to understand the local APAC culture. Illogical Office Policy The "official practice" of requiring office attendance in Singapore makes no sense. We are hot-desking without proper dedicated spaces, and since most clients are not based in SG, all meetings are virtual anyway. It is a rigid policy that ignores the practical reality of the job.
