Pros

1. Very open culture: they provide you a testbed for ideas/events allowing you to experience everything and anything. You'll get to experience different job functions and can even request to switch departments if that interests you more. 2. Colleagues are very friendly and are more than happy to help you assimilate all the information you need to perform your work.

Cons

1. Expect to wear MULTIPLE hats (common in start ups), but due to lack of resources, you may end up taking on more responsibilities than the communicated job scope. 2. Transparency is not 100% with the management team: critical business information may not be shared, feedback may not be welcomed, and promises (i.e: bonuses, commissions, salary increments) may not be upheld.

Pros

Good frontend staff and supervisors. Some of the most passionate and honest crew I've ever met. In some ways, the incompetence of management can lead to good leadership development on the job, if you can count that as a good thing.

Cons

Sincerely the dumbest and straight up unethical CEOs who abuse the term 'community'. Terrible business decisions being made time and time again, horrible treatment of staff, and no care for both customers and clients. Crane lacks direction in every aspect. Crane is essentially a events company, but 80% of staff is based overseas, and they're doing finance and marketing. Yet somehow, frontend staff (all 5 of them, across 3 locations) are also expected to do marketing related work. The actual events and operations team is dwarfed by marketing alone. Frontend staff do 95% of the heavy lifting to keep Crane afloat, but we are the ones who get blamed for every single wrongdoing and never get recognised in any way.
