Good place to work if you are shielded from the CEO

Pros

Colleagues in general are talented, open and willing to help. Multicultural work environment - You learn a lot from those around you. Business outlook is great. The opportunity could be exciting. People work together to come up with innovative solutions. Start-up company has many issues not right, but talented people are working together to fix them. Good office location and deco. Free drinks. Senior management seems to be really good at fund raising.

Cons

The CEO is an ineffective leader. He is rude, arrogant, and lack of respect to people work for him. Some of the older comments say the CEO screams to people - still true today. Don't expect to learn or get inspired from the CEO. No constructive feedback ever. No words of appreciation at all. You may still grow in this company by learning from others, but not from Jack. Good luck if you have to report to him. If you can find a position with someone shielding you from Jack, you would probably enjoy all the Pros above. But if not, try to have at least one 1 on 1 conversation with him in one of your interviews, and think hard if you can deal with him.

Pros

fast growth, good for people who like operations tons of learnings for all joiners little or no hierarchy some senior leadership are great folks

Cons

no culture has been defined, depends on your manager executive team is not the best , one of the worst among start ups tons of top talents leaving within 6 months (do look at LinkedIn to validate) the middle level managers are "yes-men", would not stand up for their direct reports toxic culture in some teams in HK benefits are almost non-existent
