Pros

1.Flexible working hour (9-6/9:30-6:30/10-7) 2.Overtime payment (upon managers’ approval for more than 1 hour OT application) 3.Sales team-the best retirement job in the world. No need to develop new client and sales deck can be handle by other team. 4. 24/7 self-HR service. Chance to handle different admin work that you could not learn in other companies. For example, self-instructed AL/SL application, self-development of several necessary work accounts (but you have to figure out the list of platforms yourself before applying) and sometimes you have to be the receptionist

Cons

1. The management try to pretend but not actually listening to their employees about their work conditions and what can be done to improve with concrete solutions 2. More-than-terrible HR/admin: No first day training provided while there are lots of complicated, silly and unnecessary internal systems (Please find them out by yourself or look for your colleague’s help if you befriend with them on the first day), no explanation on the company policy (except for the new regulations that you have to get your manager approval before you work overtime), no local IT support, poor network, sometimes there’s even no water in the office so you have to buy water yourself (and coffee? Don’t even think about it). 3. No trust in the employees they hire: New rules to monitor their staff when working from home and suspecting the WFH policy would deteriorate productivity without a proof
