Review - Software Developer bei StarVision: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Avoid unless you are desperate for a job. Cannot think of anything positive.

Middle management adds zero value. No technical knowledge, contribute nothing, but somehow have management's ear so all decisions go through people who don't know what they're talking about. To justify their existence they nitpick small irrelevant things like office housekeeping while the actual product is falling apart. Very obvious they are just wayang to keep their rice bowl. Boss is completely disconnected from the ground. Don't know what employees actually do and don't bother to find out. Leadership promotes the flagship product as some easy to use low code platform but in reality building anything on it is pain. Poorly documented, full of workarounds, frustrating to work with. Product is built on legacy .NET Framework with no modern architecture but they talk about it like it's world class. Don't bother giving feedback because nobody wants to hear it. No mentorship, no structured onboarding, no career development. Day one you are on your own. Technical team stretched thin maintaining a codebase that should have been modernised years ago. Good luck. Culture is toxic. Expect to get shouted at in meetings in front of everyone. Compensation below market, benefits basically non existent. Cannot even give half day off for New Year's Day. If you expect basic respect and fairness, save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere. Company hires incompetent foreigners rather than investing in local talent. Singaporean staff underpaid and expected to carry the weight for the quality gaps. Typical kiam siap mentality.

The pros i would say is the environment is sooo good back then, this is what i initially feel when i first join the company, but everything changed when some of the staff left (alive/dead) and it went downhill afterwards.

the cons here is that the management dont bother about their staff workload. if you can do this then you should do it even when its not in your jobscope. imagine getting tasked to come to office on weekend just to feed the fish or water the plant. i dont know man seems like a staff abuse for me. staff left? no replacement staff. we dont do that here, our team can manage (until they cant and left). harsh truth. restocking the pantry also have quota now while getting tons of new foreigner staff and still ask why pantry is taking so much cost. and we need to fill in the daily task but no increment or performance review lol for what asking daily task
