Pros

Relocation opportunity Quickly career growth Good benefits in some offices Good time off

Cons

Poor management- They are an international company when approaching business, but when problem happens, fight between offices forever and everyone starts to back up. Not fair environment- They used to offer different commission structures for different offices(not sure now) so it discourages people. Also, they pay better for Brits expats than others or prompt them quicker than locals. No HR in China - a finance lady in charge of HR work there, very unprofessional and unfriendly. The ladies work under her left very quickly always. After the company acquisition, there are many good networkers managers left and I'm sure there must a reason for that.

Thank you for your positive comments on career growth opportunities at Gattaca, including the chance to relocate internationally as well as our benefits package. I’m sorry that you had a negative experience with us. As an international business we are constantly adjusting our operating model to ensure that we deal with global clients more effectively. You are right that competition between offices should not result in any detriment to the service such clients receive. This is something we are aware of as an issue in some sectors and we are working towards fixing it. Out international offices were historically set up by British expats and until quite recently were run from the UK. However, over the last year or so we have appointed Regional Managing Directors who have the autonomy and responsibility to make decisions locally and we have been ramping up our recruitment of local nationals in order to improve the expat to local ratio – this will continue to be the case as we make our business more scalable globally. As part of our scaling up we will look to build our Group Support (GS) infrastructure globally, including HR. You’ll appreciate that when an office is small it is difficult to cost-justify too many support staff. However, as we grow we have a strategy to build GS headcount as sales headcount increases. Thanks again for taking the time to give us your feedback – its appreciated.

Thank you for your comment and for taking the time to add a review. We have a strong culture and this comes through in your comments, however, there are times when changes within the business occur and we understand the impact that this may have on individuals. Nevertheless, we hope your experience with us was a fulfilling one. Best wishes for the future.
