I have 5 YOE. A lot of feedback that I've gotten is that Grab has a better brand name in Singapore and it will be better for my career and resume. Assuming both have similar TC, which one would you go for? Why? #zendesk #grab #singapore
Zendesk. Make a poll
Done. Why Zendesk? I read the WLB is great there, not too sure if it's true.
Stability, management is better and diverse, good wlb, listed company
Zendesk
I'm surprised that more people picked Zendesk in the poll over Grab. Voted Zendesk as it's a more exclusive brand, can pay just as well and has great culture. Grab is ubiquitous but much like a fast food restaurant. Everyone and their dog works at Grab in SG.
What’s the TC with break down op?
Did you get what is TC range and breakup?
Voted for Zen since I'm working there. Grab is promising but depends on the team. Haven't worked in Grab but friends told me they can change your team every 3 months due to re-organizing so you are not able to focus. But Grab TC should be higher than Zendesk normally at the same role. And Grab is going to IPO soon so having the stock before IPO is a good choice.
Zen has better culture, employee Centric and have better tech stack. I know a handful of folks in both grab & zen product team
Depends on what you are looking for! Your experience at grab is going to be team dependent culture wise. With regards to interesting work, it’s easy to do something else if you don’t think your current work is a right fit as there are lots of different opportunities. On reorgs, they happen, but my experience has been that my manager has made it such that my work never really changes so I still get to focus. I only change my area of focus when I feel I’m ready for something new. Having said that, I have friends in zendesk who had loads of fun weekly activities and the culture seems good there! I also get that in my current team at Grab but I’m aware that not every team has the same vibes.
Thanks for the input! I really appreciate it!
Zendesk. Worked at both Grab and Zendesk, and Zendesk’s culture of inclusion is just ages ahead. There are some cases of things being too down at times, but all the problems being worked upon are actual ones instead of made up problems at Grab.
From an USA engineer's pov, grab is better because usa people have heard of grab. No one has heard of Zendesk.

Grab >>> Uber
I like how Grab is diversifying their business which is not only focusing on food delivery or ride hailing. I think their Fintech play has huge potential.
I only used Grab for about 3 weeks in Vietnam. Huge potential there, way bigger than Uber imo.
