Pros

In my 15 years of work experience so far, Tech in Asia has been the only place where I saw the founder and CEO of the company putting happiness of employees as a key measure of success. The idea of a manager as a facilitator and not the traditional boss was a new experience for me and I found that very empowering. I have had a lot of opportunities to learn at the company. Despite a virtual office with employees across different countries, I felt a strong sense of ownership as well as appreciation throughout my tenure.

Cons

At some point, if an employee feels stuck, lost, or underutilized, it will be great if leaders help him or her get unstuck. Maybe move them to another team or another role. That is worth the effort if those employees have performed well in the past, have strengths that could help the company, and are also committed.

Pros

Tech in Asia is the right place for you for people who are driven by vision, results, and data. The company allows you to speak any ideas you have regardless your position because of it has flat hierarchy. Flexibility is beyond what you can imagine as long as you can get your things done (bold, highlight, underline). The honesty and integrity can be seen from everyday's work on the articles, communication to the employees, discussions, even the company's earnings & spendings. C levels are only a Slack away, so easily to reach.

Cons

The company runs so fast and challenges us to work effectively everyday. We probably have thousands of ideas, more than what we can handle at 1 time. So it'll be a perfect match for people who love working independently and creatively, who are able to identify when to pause and say no with clear priorities. But it will be a complete torture for those who admire bureaucracy and old traditional ways of thinking.

Pros

Great company with excellent leadership, and a culture that values hard work and achievement but also respects work/life balance and allows employees a lot of freedom in terms of how they complete their tasks.

Cons

It's a startup, which can be challenging if you're not used to that sort of lifestyle. The company is very data driven, which means there may be quick pivots in new directions and you've got to be able to keep up and remain flexible.
