Best Companies in Singapore 2022
In late November 2021, e-commerce giant Shopee was thrown into the spotlight for its alleged discriminatory hiring practices and toxic work culture.
This was revealed by Wake Up, Singapore, which compiled a series of reviews about working in the company from former, prospective and current employees from Glassdoor, chat messages, and social media comments.
In response to the allegations, Shopee had announced that it will look into these allegations and reiterated its commitment to provide a safe workplace for its employees.
With Glassdoor reviews being a common benchmark for an inside look on a company’s culture, we figured it’s apt to take a look at some of the top-rated companies on the platform since many are on the lookout for a new job in this new year.
(Disclaimer: The below list is not exhaustive. There are plenty of other companies in Singapore that have achieved above a 4.0 rating on Glassdoor.)
