      Founders are incompetent at Management

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Aftership was an exciting place to work for because of the colleagues. There were people from different backgrounds that made the typical workday at Aftership full of interesting conversations and idea brain storming. Also It had many interesting engineering and product challenges to think about and solve. Good office space, equipment and work environment. Founders are hard working intelligent and good people to deal with out side of professional space.

      Cons

      Though the original idea for the company worked out well making it feasible to run the company in a sustainable way, the founders are incompetent mangers for a company of its size. Their typical strategy for product development is to copy ideas from competitors left and right. Lack of overall vision is a key aspect of their management style. Instead of carefully studying the market needs in an objective way, they resort to taking subjective measures resulting in continuous and costly trial and error. The same goes for managing employees expectations. Neither of the founders have a good technical background to manage the engineers they hire. Lot of the efficiencies that could be achieved with a more engineering mind set were skipped simply because the founder/CEO did not understand how it would work. The efficiency loss/technical debt was accounted for with a lot of manual/repetitive work on tight deadlines for the engineers, many of whom quit in a short period of time.

      Thank you for your feedback. We are still enjoying each other's company and having a lot of fun at and outside of work! We are continually investing more resources towards improving employee benefits, implementing improvements to the workplace and adding to our ever-growing list of SaaS and tech stacks for AfterShip staff members. We have also invested heavily in adopting and running scrum methodologies, realigned ourselves to better fit the agile framework as well as grown our leadership team to cater the needs of our ~50 staff members across different locations. For example, the leadership team now includes Product Owners, Head of Engineering, Head of People (HR) and Scrum Master (to name a few). We have grown a lot since and are in a much better place now to be able to plan ahead in terms of product strategy and forecast and am confident we are heading in the right direction.

      Pros

      The product can generate stable income for the company. Infinite coffee to keep you awake.

      Cons

      Cofounders treat employees as slaves, either follow their order or get fired. Forcing employees to define unreasonable objective & key result (OKR) before quarter start, so they can blame and prohibit you from promotion during performance review at quarter end. They would extend your probation so as to layoff without compensation. First year of employment have no annual leave (have to take no-paid leave which is troublesome for those who need to rent). There was HKD6000 subsidy for new laptop, cancelled for all employees after mid 2016.

      Thank you for your feedback. We have also updated our benefits timelines and offerings (including but not limited to annual leaves) to better align with employee needs as we have grown into a more mature "startup". We are now running scrum so expectations are clear from the beginning, emphasis is on collaboration, team work and contributing towards team goals. We have also grown our leadership team, brought onboard Head of Engineering as well as Head of People (HR) to improve recruitment, new joiner onboarding, performance management, people development and retention (to name a few areas). Last but not least, we have updated our 360 reviews structure and processes, invested in professional consulting services to help update our performance management initiatives and protocols.
