Expect to fall into cracks

Pros

1. Flexible hours 2. Hybrid working 3. Internal mobility (not sure with the current financial position of the company whether this is still available or not) 4. Option for remote working (but not everywhere) 5. Global setting which you'll be working with people from different background and culture (diversity) 6. Almost standardized benefits but can do better.

Cons

1. Been in the company for a while, unless you're a person who like to be in the spotlight, be ready to fall into cracks and forgotten. No amount of extra contribution that you do towards your task and job will make any difference unless you're an outgoing & nosy person. In short: If you're loud and love to talk, this company will "see" you. Don't expect your job and your deliverance to "talk" on your behalf if you want to move fast in this company. GSG before the merger will see everyone's contribution accordingly but now no more. 2. They said they care about your development, actually not. If you want to be seen, you have to make noise here. If you're introverted silent employee, you'll be forgotten and benched. 3. Don't be fool by the gathering that they have, they're not currently financially stable and a lot of benefits have been taken back or put on hold. 4. Changing managers like changing clothes. I genuinely believe everytime they hire new managers, the new managers wanted to eliminate the old employees instead of build trust and built relationship and at the end, the new manager will start to find someone else to take that responsibility away from them. They will only keep those they want to work with or those that they hire as their direct report and throw the others to someone else to deal with. 5. Open door policy? Laughable policy. It's "open" until you critique them. 6. Simple issue that could be resolve by Slack (our internal message system) but they now will send you an email. This is new even to me, it wasn't like this before. So you know when emails starts flying, they're trying to get rid of you (standard corporate practice to show how incompetent you are by making it big). 7. Don't believe when they say they're a close knit company, company by the size of 700-1000 employees is no longer a close knit, it's corporate and everyone know how corporate works. 8. If you have a stable job right now and thinking to move to GSG, think again and again because being a new joiner during your probation period will mean that your position is unstable and anytime they can kick you out by not confirming your employment. 9. They exert control by not sharing information even within the same department. A contrast from when 3-4 years back where everyone is kept informed about what happen in the company and in the department.

Hi, Even though this response comes later than we’d like, your honest and detailed feedback is important to us. We’re glad you valued the flexibility, hybrid working options, internal mobility, and the diverse, global environment at Atolls. However, we also acknowledge the serious concerns you’ve shared about recognition, communication, leadership changes, and transparency within the company. We understand how frustrating it can be to feel overlooked despite hard work and contributions. In 2024, we implemented a performance and salary review process aimed at providing fair recognition and clearer growth opportunities. We also introduced a professional development program for people managers to ensure better leadership practices and stronger relationships within teams. Still, we recognize that this remains an area where more progress is needed. The challenges you’ve raised about transparency, shifting management, and internal communication are concerning. While efforts were made to improve these areas last year, we acknowledge that these changes may not have fully addressed the needs of all employees. Maintaining trust and open communication is essential, and your feedback highlights where we need to do better. At Atolls, we believe in #StrongerTogether, but we know that actions matter more than words. Your feedback underscores the importance of continuous improvement, and we are committed to making Atolls a place where every employee feels seen, heard, and supported. If you’d like to share more, please reach out to our Talent Attraction and Engagement team at tae.team@joingsg.com. Your P&C Team.

Pros

- very fast response/action times from initial application to first interview scheduling and all next steps involved - a very clear outline of the entire process was given already in the first interview - Recruiter was very kind, respectful, transparent, and proactive in giving advice and encouragement throughout the process - Hiring managers were also very encouraging and competent in giving positive feedback as well as constructive feedback, and open to discussing the role in a transparent way - highly relevant and well-crafted real life scenario case study instead of a typical random case study - a good and fair compensation package with good employee benefits and good work-life balance, and great company culture

Cons

- onboarding process could maybe be more simple but understandable as GSG is a big international company with more sophisticated internal systems - bonus within total compensation package could be higher, but this is well offset by a high base salary

Hi, Even though this response comes later than we’d like, we truly value your thoughtful feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you had a positive interview and onboarding experience, and that you appreciated the transparency, support, and professionalism from our recruiters and hiring managers. It’s also great to know that you found the compensation package fair and enjoyed the company culture and work-life balance. We understand your point about simplifying the onboarding process. In 2024, we worked on improving internal systems to create a smoother onboarding experience, but we recognize that, as an international company, there is always room for further refinement. We also acknowledge your feedback on bonuses and continue to evaluate our compensation structure to ensure competitive and rewarding packages for our employees. At Atolls, we believe in #MakeitGreat, continuously striving to enhance our processes and provide the best experience for our employees.
