Pros

(01) Nice air-conditioning. (02) Many lunch spots nearby.

Cons

(01) Poor management. Supervisors claimed that they are flexible and open to new ideas. In fact, they are providing minimal assistance to employees for applying new solutions. (02) Unrealistic expectations on employees. Management expects employees to achieve all the tasks with a tight schedule, even if you are new. (03) Unfriendly colleagues and pretentious management team. Seniors like to claim themselves seniors, but I hardly see they delivering high outputs. They are most efficient when they pressurise juniors to work. Colleagues in another department are unwilling to help when it's a cross-department project. (04) Font line staff underpaid. If you are talented and is seeking entry opportunities, really think twice before jumping into this boat. Their pay is slower than companies of the same size. (05) Messy job titles. Management accepts staff to create job titles for themselves after they are onboard. You could be a Digital Innovation Lead who has the same pay as a UX/UI designer. (06) Seniors overpaid, especially the boss. (07) Weird social norms. Seniors told explicitly to juniors that using mobile phones are discouraged and that they should focus on work. 9.5 hours work-day is not short at all and still they don't accept juniors to rest for a while. (08) No intent to retain talents. Management tends to replace a staff instead of teaching them how to improve. They also don't admit that they hire the wrong person for the role at the beginning. * Don't trust any reviews here. It might be my personal experience only, but be highly cautious to the reviews that praised the company as "agile and productive".

Pros

Flexible, collaborative working environment, and they have a snack bar

Cons

The headquarters in Hong Kong is relatively quiet, which may favour introverted individuals but not extroverted ones.
