Pros

1. Office Location The office is located in one of the prestigious CBD areas in Setiabudi, Jakarta, within a modern and stylish office tower. It is very close to both BRT and LRT stations, making it highly convenient for employees who rely on public transportation. The walk from the nearest BRT stop takes approximately five minutes. 2. Office Staff The office staff are friendly, approachable, and helpful. They are supportive and willing to assist whenever needed. 3. Office Facilities & Utilities Employees are provided with a standard office laptop and a comfortable working desk. The pantry area is well-maintained and offers a pleasant view, making it a nice place for lunch breaks. Internet connectivity is fast and reliable. 4. Basic Salary & Payroll The salary is decent and above Jakarta’s UMR, depending on the position. Salaries are consistently paid on time on the first day of each month. The company does not provide BPJS health insurance, and employees are responsible for managing their own annual tax reporting and payments, resulting in no salary deductions. 5. Working Hours & Work-Life Balance Working hours are stable, with an 8-hour workday and a 1-hour lunch break (8:00 AM–5:00 PM). There is no overtime culture in the office; employees typically leave work on time every day.

Cons

1. Leadership Culture The CEO once stated in front of all employees: “You won’t find any happiness here. There is no such thing as happiness—it is only a temporary individual hallucination. Here, you will only get pain and suffering.” This statement was followed by laughter. Unfortunately, this was not a joke. The working environment genuinely reflects this mindset, and employees should be prepared for a highly stressful and emotionally draining culture. 2. Extreme Micromanagement & Subjective Evaluation Performance evaluation is highly subjective and heavily dependent on the CEO’s personal perspective. Even if you meet your KPIs or targets, your work may still be considered “wrong” if it does not align exactly with the CEO’s preferred style or approach. There is no room for flexibility, customization, or professional autonomy. Any deviation from his method is often interpreted as “not listening.” 3. Inconsistent Decisions & Unclear Expectations The CEO frequently demonstrates inconsistent decision-making. Tasks that are initially assigned with a clear deadline (e.g., five days) may be abruptly terminated before the deadline without clear justification. In some cases, tasks are declared “failed” even when completed within the original timeline. This pattern happens repeatedly and contributes to confusion, frustration, and a toxic working environment. 4. Lack of Managerial Support Although there are managers overseeing different regions, they do not provide effective support or advocacy for employees. Managers tend to repeat the CEO’s statements verbatim without independent judgment and do not defend employees, regardless of the facts. Communication and directives can change from day to day without acknowledgment of previous instructions. As a result, employees are largely left to navigate challenges on their own. Advice: Always document conversations, instructions, and approvals in writing, whether with managers or directly with the CEO.
