Pros

Nice co-workers. OK office. Good pantry.

Cons

Office politics do exist if you're not completely aligned to the management's line of thought and way of doing things, from the CEO on down. Too many sycophants.

Pros

Before joining MoneySmart, I was always thinking if there is a company without office politics, arrogant managers and non-stop overwork. I guess I have found the answer here. Amazing culture, amazing people, and an enjoyable workplace. What else to expect?

Cons

Too many snacks in office... getting fat

You can only win with workplace politics

Pros

- Unlimited leave - Flexible working hours (compared to traditional company, not using the standard as a startup/multinational company) - Friendly colleagues in HK office

Cons

- Worst management I've ever seen in my career life, poor financial judgement, spent a ton on branding and fire irrelevant people (nearly half of the people in HK left because of this mistake) after realising they overspent, which sounds complete nonsense to me - "Action speaks louder than words" does not apply here, since you can achieve a lot just by being good at presenting yourself - Do not expect to learn a lot from MoneySmart because it is a self-claimed start-up, it is not - Spent most of the time on strategy planning, reports and presentations, which will most likely be left in the achieve folder soon as no one takes actions - DO NOT EXPECT TO ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS HERE

Dear Former Colleague, Thank you for your feedback. You seem really angry from your comments. I personally have small group sessions with every staff member on the HK team every 6 weeks or so to gather feedback and concerns so we can improve. It’s unfortunate that you didn’t feel safe to raise your concerns to me directly during those sessions when most people have. Those sessions allow for a more intimate setting where I can address your concerns directly. I don’t expect everyone to agree with the decisions we make but we’re always transparent about the rationale for the decisions during our fortnightly all hands. During the all hands we encourage questions about anything and answer every question asked so far. 

As a company, we believe in taking calculated risks. As with any risk, they don’t always pay off, no company makes 100% correct decisions all the time. It’s ok to not agree with our decisions, but we make the best decision we can with the information we have at the time and in-line with the risk we're willing to take. When we encounter failure it’s important to share what we’ve learned and how we’ll take the lesson moving forward. It pains me to see that you’ve left MoneySmart with such feelings in your heart. If you have any further feedback or feelings you'd like to get off your chest, please drop me an email. I hope you move on to bigger and better things and that you’ll take the experience here positively and achieve great things. All the best. Best Regards, Vinod

Dear Colleague, Thank you for your feedback and review. MoneySmart understands the importance of compensating competitively within each market in which we operate. We have a remuneration philosophy and practices whereby we benchmark regularly against market rates in each region. We will always strive to ensure benefits and pay grades are as competitive as they can be within our business model; but also would emphasise the value of non-monetary benefits including regular team events, a great working environment and company culture. We’re sorry to hear that MoneySmart has not lived up to your expectations. We take your feedback very seriously and are looking into how we can do better going forward. Thank You
