Pros
I figured it would be timely for me to put up a public review after being around for 6 months. Based in the APAC office (made up of 3 awesome individuals), I was hired earlier in the year during the Covid19 pandemic. Despite the risks of switching jobs during this period, it's been a pleasure working with not just the local team, but globally too. The team structure is rather flat which gives us plenty of autonomy and flexibility on how we work or communicate with each other. One of the biggest pros would be having our inputs brought straight to management. After all, we are going through a pandemic and product offerings have to change as quickly as how the world is adapting. Product-wise, we've gone from focusing on visitors to employees (to cater to the pandemic). Again, a huge assurance that I'm with an organization that can be agile enough to transform fast. As for culture, the APAC team is relatively lean compared to the other regions, so trust and communication becomes one of the biggest factor when we work. I'm glad that I've been blessed with a team who feels the same way, and more importantly, act these traits.
Cons
For some of the new joiners (I consider myself as one still), the surge in hiring would naturally create some change in management and affecting certain directions. Not to mention, Covid19 putting an additional strain to this. Communication between the regions can be challenging at times, but it's good to see that management is doing something by catering efforts to the respective time-zones. Onboarding could also be improved, especially for people who are newer to the industry and working environment. I'd say these are common challenges within a scale-up / start-up environment and I hope the Proxyclick team will continue to prioritize these.
