What’s it like working at SGS & Co?

AI summary of recent reviews

SGS & Co demonstrates strong commitment to employee support through their comprehensive work from home setup with provided equipment, structured training programs, and competitive benefits package. The company's management team has shown adaptability and support, particularly during the pandemic, prioritising employee safety and welfare while maintaining operations.

However, employees face certain challenges including maintaining work-life balance due to extended hours and overtime requirements. The limited career advancement opportunities and concerns about the performance measurement system are areas that could be improved. Additionally, some employees express a desire for more generous leave policies beyond the current 15-day annual allocation.

Unfair Treatment and Favoritism in Training Process

The good thingsStructured training materials.

The challengesI recently participated in a one-day training session with SGS & Co., with the goal of securing a work-from-home position. Initially, the session started well, but as the day progressed, it became evident that favoritism and bias played a significant role in the training environment. One trainee, in particular, managed to connect with the trainer on a personal level, which seemed to influence the trainer’s attitude and behavior toward the group. Despite this individual contributing very little to the actual training exercises and activities, they were consistently given preferential treatment, while others, including myself, were left out of key learning moments. There was a clear shift after the first break, where the trainer's focus turned toward certain individuals, and I was no longer given the same level of attention or guidance. At one point, comments were made about "bad personality traits", which created an uncomfortable atmosphere for some of the trainees. This shift in tone seemed unnecessary and contributed to a sense of unease among those who were genuinely trying to engage with the material. This imbalance in treatment made it difficult to fully engage in the session. Later, when taking the final exam, it became apparent that merit was not the primary factor in determining who passed. Despite the uneven participation, a few individuals were selected, and it felt like these decisions were based on favoritism rather than performance. Overall, the experience was disheartening, with a lack of transparency and fairness throughout the training process. I believe the company should take steps to ensure equal opportunities for all participants, with more focus on merit and less on personal connections.

Friendly & welcoming environment. You gotta trust the process lang talaga :)

The good thingsWFH setup. Complete tools + software provided. Extensive training from principles of printing and graphics to application. Great camaraderie.

The challengesIt's quite difficult to keep up with a Work-Life-Balance. Madalas overtime sa Production lalo kapag tight ang due and high volume ang jobs. WFH but hindi sya flexible since you only work with the PC units provided. So kapag nasa ibang lugar ka or when you're on a vacation, you have to file for leave talaga. Even if you have the means to work ( internet , good - performing device ). 15 overall SL/VL. I hope mapag-hiwalay nila ito. Their KPI :)
