Pros

The convenience store below the office.

Cons

1. High Turnover Rate: employees are all new hire who have worked less than 6 months and still under probation. They are always hiring as employees keep resigning or get terminated. 2. Control-Obsessed: the boss will keep reminding you to update every single task with completion date and time in the software Asana taking up times that could be use to do the actual work. The bosses always choose to talk to employees right before work ends and drag past working hour. They don't care about the employees, work comes first. 3. Unconducive Environment: nobody talks in the office when the bosses are in the office. Except for work-related matters. You really cannot tell until you are inside and experience it, how people behave in the office. Adding on, the socket will be switch off everyday and I have to crawl under the desk to switch on again the next day. Stationery has to return to the shelf after work. What's the point? Save costs? 4. Problem-Solving: you will be given tasks not within your capability and knowledge, the boss knew it when he interviewed you. He mentioned we are always learning means you research online, there's nobody you can seek help from in the workplace. If you are unable to do the task, off you go. The boss would degrade you saying you are not putting efforts in your work even when you spend extra time after work researching for answers. Their working style is selling client the ideas on things they are not familiar or confident about and just tell you to get it done in a few days time. How you get the resources? Search online. 5. This company is just wasting people's time. I am writing this to provide insight into this company's culture as previously I didn't find much information online. Note: the boss is a bully. On my last day of work, I walked to an empty seat (free seating arrangement) but he stopped me and told me to sit elsewhere. Nobody is occupying that seat. Passive aggressive behaviour. Create positive culture? Lying to who. This is not my first job and it's an 'eye-opening' experience. Not worth it. Anyway none of my business now and I feel better after leaving.

Pros

- Nice office - Good exposure to different clients from different industries. - My ex-co-workers were helpful, capable, and fun to work with.

Cons

- Management tend to be resistant to suggestions and do not respond well to feedback being given - "Constructive criticism" can get personal and affect employee's emotional health. - Copious amount of work to be completed within an extremely tight deadline. - Policies always change. - Termination is frequent and random. - Senior management will gossip about staff and clients. - Gives empty promises. - Staff must make sure that everything is in black and white. - Have zero regards for your boundary and intrude into your personal life. - One particular senior manager is of questionable character. His choice of words are often inappropriate, unprofessional, degrading and upsetting. One time, I was told that I am better off working in an environment where my contributions will not make a difference to the company. He then added that "everything I have just said is off the record".
