      Make sure your expected salary is high enough to compensate all those hardship you will endure

      13 Feb 2023 - HR-officer 
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay, benefit (only limited to FTE) and great exposure.

      Cons

      Patriarchy (especially in Racing Div), Tradition, Long working hours, bureaucratic and complicated office politics. The sense of hierarchy is deeply entrenched in HKJC. It is not a good working environment for the non-perm employee (specially temp staff). Long working hours under high pressure working environment without any medical benefit and pay sick leave. Some manager treat temp staff as dispensable machine without any empathy. Don't expect for work-life balance. There are no career prospect in most of the temp staff position. It is very rare for a temp staff convert to FTE within a year or two.

      Good Pay at cost of Career Progression

      12 Feb 2023 - Assistant Manager Business Analytics 
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Pay & Bonus, Good Colleagues (subject to who's your boss, in my case, good boss)

      Cons

      If staying too long, your pay & bonus would stop you for seeking opportunity in other companies for the same skill set. However, it take at least 2 year for a promotion. Some would say it's better for you to leave HKJC and join back for a higher ranking. Full of tedious and old-fashioned procedure. Strong gate keeper mindsets. Lots of stakeholder management in daily work that may not help you to build new skill-set and sharpen your edge. You would stand out if you are good in stakeholder management.
