Pros
- Free lunch, wide range of training activities (when we still had a L&D team) - Some awesome, as well as bizarre colleagues.
Cons
[Employee Morale] Q1: Management says "tighten our ship to sail at breakneck speed" Q3: Employees are laid off at breakneck speed - Strange decision to expand office space, guesstimated at over USD1m a year, and conduct mass layoffs at the same time. - Mass hiring and firing, without compensation nor empathy. - Announces during townhall that our voice matters. Embraces and supportive of hybrid work model where people are most productive and collaborative 2 weeks later: Back to office on 4 day work week - [Compensation & Benefits] Claims to commit to pay for performance & total reward strategy - but pays below market rate bonus (if any this cycle) + no AWS - [Diversity & inclusion] Claims to value diversity & multicultural, but majority chinese in most managerial and leadership positions, some of which are not on merit, if you know what that means. - [Culture] Always making noise about improving culture, claims to value open and transparent communication. For obvious reason(s) these group of open people are no longer working in the company. - A boatload of surveys, feedback every quarter. Dodges difficult questions and takes selective action on the others - [Performance measurement] Uses OKR to measure but the needle shifts as soon as 1 week after goals are set. Promotions and increments are seldom based on performance.
