Abusive management, low wages and long hours

Pros

They paid me on time.

Cons

At my time in this company, I saw over 10 people get hired and leave on bad terms. This is for a team of less than 15 people. The manager was abusive and rude and little to no training was offered. I was constantly berated for being useless and told that I should be grateful that I was being given a chance to work because no one else would want me.

Flexible, stressful, absent company culture

Senior account executive

Recommend

Business outlook

Pros

very flexible working, a lot of the leaders have their hands off your projects and you can pretty much work very closely with your pipeline manager to make projects happen for your clients. They are not too bothered with your clock-in clock-out time, as long as you stay reachable for the client at all times. Pay is higher than most agencies. Work hard, make the client like you, ask for a raise.

Cons

not a lot of company structure, a lot of the leaders can be very hands off. Virtually no HR benefits. Client is very capricious, especially in the Hong Kong division. Working with the UK team was not that smooth, difference in culture definitely showed.
