Sia reviews

- No support whatsoever from the upper management when you are on a project, they do not care and also do not have the expertise or competency to help you -The one thing that stops Sia SG expanding its business or to be taken seriously by the industry is the local partner. Clients literally come to consultants on projects to complain about him and overtime clients will drop the contract simply because they do not want to work with him anymore! -Any local BD effort will be ruined by local partner as he will jump in during client engagement and say or do something that completely damages the relationship. It is embarrassing. -Unethical and sometimes borderline illegal practices, no consideration of labour law, quality of work, employee health and only focuses on short term financial gain

Only focused on acquiring companies to grow the business. Ironically they offer M&A and transformation and change services to clients but are terrible at implementing it in their own company. Terrible communication, you have the sense that leadership does not care about individuals at all. All of their internal processes and systems are clunky and inefficient with limited transparency on how decisions are made. It's all the cons of french bureaucracy and american capitalism without any of the benefits. The only performance metric they care about is your individual "utilization" rate- not group level. The utilization target is like 80% but as a manager you are also expected to hit absurd BD targets. In addition to these absurd targets, you are also required to participate in "squads" (i.e. developing new offerings and pitching them). There is zero transparency on how you are scored on your performance. The game is set up to fail- unless you have a strong advocate on your side who can plead your case, is respected and savvy enough to learn how to game the system. Partners only care about getting credit for new business, they don't care about keeping their staff utilized and employed. There are only two people that run the entire company- which is terrible bottleneck and no one is able to actually get anything done. Do NOT work here. It's a mess.
