Pros

Good food in the area

Cons

Too many to count. Non conducive working environment. There is a lack of guidance for junior staff as there is no competent middle management. Junior staffs are thrown into projects that are beyond their experience level. And when mistakes are made, the Management does not hesitate jump and put blame on staff for any mistakes done in the course of the projects. Management also does not hesitate to fire staffs that they think are not up to par. There is very obvious favoritism, where the design staffs are more valued than the project staffs. When a project has been designed and competition won, obvious non-compliance to authority requirements are often left to the project team to frantically solve and manage. Employees tend to tip toe around the No. 1 Director to see if he is in good or bad mood. The management does not give support to staff when unreasonable deadlines are given by client. Worse, the staffs are still asked to manage other ad-hoc competitions, while the project deadline timeline is ticking. Manpower supports are not systematically arranged by the management. Instead, the stressed and frantic staffs are often left to fight for his/her own manpower. There are many cases where employees have to threaten to resign before more manpower support is given. If the employee is capable, he/she will have to do more and more. If the team does well, it is only to be expected. There is no show of any appreciation of job well done. The turn over rate is very high. At its worst time, almost every week a staff leaves the company. The fate of each employee is dependent on which director he/she is with. One director is temperamental; another micro manages; then another one that always breathes down your neck. The way the management treats staff left little to be desired. Working long hours and coming back on the weekends are to be expected. "Work Life Balance" that is desired by the staffs are blamed by the management for the non-ideal financial state of the company. Multiple Whats app chat groups are created to terrorize staff after office hours even for matters that are not critical. Emails are expected to be replied as soon as it's received. The list of cons are never ending.....
