There is no separation between professional and private life. Management expected their employees to live and breath "Horyou".
The hours did not reflect the salary and there is no compensation for extra hours.
In addition, the organisational structure is non-existence and office politics became a type of high school drama.
Lack of Managerial guidance and presence. The majority of employees were fresh graduates. There was a lack of senior management to guide and mentor.
The "go for it" attitude is problematic when there was a lack of defined objectives, therefore, the moral and motivation became low. People were coming to the office out of obligation versus the inspiration to work.
Lack of clear and transparent communication.
Even though they provide the opportunity to be creative, there is no guidelines or an infrastructure for employees to gain essential skills and knowledge to transmit to other opportunities and advance their career.
Lack of initiatives for self-growth.
