Pros

-Good platform for fresh grad/starters with 0 exp or those looking for change in career. -Good work/life balance

Cons

-Management is made up of elderly in their 40s and above who lacks foresight & refuses to innovate despite constant preaching about having innovation and new ideas- All talk but no action. -Company in SG faces dip in revenue and there have been multiple retrenchment across 2015. -Almost everyone in the company is fresh grads/new and this is their usual hiring practice hence average wages are extremely uncompetitive and low. Employees have weak ad tech knowledge (since most are fresh) and not a great place for LEARNING if that's what you are here out for. -Promotion is standard and only carried out after 1.5 years later for new entrants, regardless of how well you perform. -Extremely anal about punctuality and lunch hours, very old school and traditional culture, no flexibility even for time-off. If you need to go off slightly earlier (eg 10 mins), got to pay back this 10 mins the following day.
