Singaporeans ‘most unsatisfied' working for top e-commerce firms: report

This is despite them having the highest average salary recorded.

Singaporeans seem to be the most unsatisfied with working in the top e-commerce companies despite having the highest average salary recorded amongst seven countries in Southeast Asia, according to a research by meta-search website iPrice Group.

According to their data gathered from Glassdoor, participants only gave an average of 3-stars to the top three e-commerce companies in Singapore. Moreover, 53% of the participants would recommend these companies to a friend, and 66% approve of their CEO.

The overall data shows that employees do not seem to loathe working in the Southeast Asia e-commerce industry. In all the seven countries included in the research, the ratings for the companies range from a 3-star to a 4.3-star rating.

Half of these employees would recommend the e-commerce companies as a workplace to their friends, and CEOs have approval ratings of about 66% to 97%.

“With iPrice’s aggregated data, it seems that this young industry does hold the value of its employees by gaining at the very least, an average satisfaction rate among its employees,” the report reads.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
