Pros

Fun people to work with Flexibility (annual leaves & work from home when needed)

Cons

Bad cash flow management - thanks to branding department overspend Waste time on things that can’t generate revenues - meetings, forecast, reforecast, endless budgeting Management is bigger than entry and middle level combined - too many leads, heads but only one or two people work on executions

Dear fellow ex-MS colleague, Thank you for your feedback, and for the time taken to submit a review. We are sorry to hear your concerns. We are operate with full transparency on Branding strategies and revenue-generating activities through our fortnightly townhalls, but are happy to elaborate further on this with any of our employees should they have any concerns. We feel that we have a well balanced organisational structure to meet the current requirements of the organisation, and a relatively flat structure as we would agree that top-heavy companies are not effective. Whilst our management layer is not the largest proportion of employees, we do encourage our employees to move into people lead responsibilities should they have an interest in doing so. Thank you once again for your feedback and we wish you all the best in your current role. Stay safe! -- Regards, Leon Chua Group Talent Acquisition Lead

Dear former colleague, Thanks for recognising the culture and environment that we have at MoneySmart. We work very hard to bring on board the right type of people and create a culture where people love working together. Regarding business strategy, we try and spend as much time as possible to document and communicate this to everyone because we fully recognise the risks and inefficiencies of a misaligned team. We’re sorry that this wasn’t the experience you had at your time at MoneySmart, we’re taking your feedback onboard and looking into how we ensure that we do better. Thank you. Sincerely, Vinod Nair CEO
