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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
