Pros
- Colleagues, flexibility, and certain benefits are great. - You have to be a self-starter and independent enough to juggle between tasks. - Tons of opportunities for fresh graduates
Cons
- The biggest pain point is that the CEO likes to hire a bunch of PART TIME employees for important roles (COO/Assistant Director/managerial positions) from HIS BATCH OF FRIENDS (Just like the movie Parasite) - In return, even if they failed to demonstrate necessary managerial skills, they are never asked to step down, and the CEO will choose his friends over his employees who are actually suffering from the consequences. - Said employees who are hired because they're friends with the CEO, are always the ones that impose negative work experiences to others (unable to accept constructive criticisms and feedbacks, deflected every single issue that was raised within the team and placed the blame to others, projects were delayed/almost dropped because some wanted the easy route). - Work life balance isn't promoted because everyone is extremely overworked due to short project deadlines and last minute tasks. - Doesn't celebrate diversity or inclusion (only muslim-based celebrations are held, but not for chinese new year or even deepali when we have chinese and indian colleagues) - HR is losing power, therefore whatever issues or feedbacks are raised, may or may not have improvements. - BDAD is overall unpleasant to work with. Constantly being sarcastic to everyone, lashed out at people who worked under her due to tight deadlines, gave an extension of an employee's 6 months probation to 7 months without HR's approval because "she thought that employee's probation is 3 months", and retracted it back without any explanation or apology, constantly micromanaging people's work by wanting them to give her an update every single day so that she can track how fast you can work (to reprimand you if you're slow, give you more work if you can finish it in 1 day), everything is always your fault, and she's not used to being told NO.
