Pros

Nothing can be told actually

Cons

The management approach in the Asia region lacks professionalism and structure, resulting in significant operational confusion. There is a lack of clear visibility and understanding of team members’ performance and capabilities. High-performing employees are consistently overburdened with additional workload to compensate for underperforming colleagues (whether due to lack of competence or poor attitude). Meanwhile, leadership and managerial direction remain severely deficient, directly contributing to market share loss. Nevertheless, no meaningful accountability is applied to those responsible. As capable talent continues to depart one after another, management has shown little to no self-reflection or willingness to address the root causes, instead focusing primarily on internal office politics.

Pros

Team themselves lovely but that’s it.

Cons

The worst company I have ever worked for. Manager has 0 trust in employees to the point of wanting to read every email before it gets sent out to customers, instant red flag that there is that little trust in employees that their office is locked every time they go to the bathroom. If you want to be discriminated against and have no autonomy in your role then this an ideal working environment. Managers communication style is aggressive internally and externally which will be why the brand is always a challenger brand in the uk and will never dominate the market.
