Pros

There are no positives of working here that wouldn’t easily be beaten by moving to another company

Cons

Offensively low pay, zero training, no direction, strange and unpleasant colleagues, remarkably rigid thinking for a small and supposedly dynamic company, the product is basically a collection of hyper-expensive blogs

Pros

My immediate team (excluding management)

Cons

High Client Churn & Outdated Product: The company is losing a lot of clients. The business is purely focused on making short-term money rather than building actual client relationships through proper account management. On top of that, with the industry rapidly adopting AI, the core platform offerings feel completely outdated. Competitors are doing ten times better, making it incredibly hard to retain accounts. Robotic Sales Approach: The sales pitches the team is forced to use are incredibly rigid and robotic. The scripts force you to ask clients the exact same questions multiple times, which makes the conversations feel unnatural and leaves the clients feeling awkward and uncomfortable. Intense Micromanagement: The micromanagement there is exhausting. Everything is looked at through a magnifying glass, to the point where you can’t even send a standard email without being told it’s wrong. There is zero autonomy, and this level of hyper-scrutiny completely slows down daily work. Constant Role Shifts, Low Pay & Flawed Commission: Job roles and responsibilities are changed and added to almost every single week without any clear direction. Employees are expected to do a massive amount of work for incredibly low base pay. To make matters worse, the commission structure feels intentionally designed so that you barely ever receive it, the incentives are entirely un-incentivising and moving goalposts make hitting targets nearly impossible. Management Instability: There is no long-term strategy for the business. Upper management structures seem to change constantly, making it impossible to keep up or maintain any real momentum. Unprofessional Offboarding Process: The culture surrounding employee departures is highly problematic. Upon giving notice, the micromanagement tends to intensify and the environment becomes hostile. There are also significant delays and hurdles regarding final payroll, getting earned commissions paid out, and receiving standard departure documentation on time.

Pros

Great views of the Hong Kong harbour in the office that they force you to come and sit at your desk jail while sucking the life and soul out of you.

Cons

Observations over a period of employment indicate structural issues within the leadership team, specifically relating to two long‑tenured individuals (20+ years with the organisation). Their operational approach appears disconnected from contemporary market practices, and decision‑making lacks transparency. While some colleagues are cooperative, professional alignment is frequently subordinated to deal closure, resulting in inconsistent interpersonal reliability. Direct management lacks decision‑making authority, meaningful influence, and effective advocacy for team members. This pattern is repeatedly cited by former subordinates - especially when it comes to one of the team leads in particular! The organisation exhibits persistently high vacancy rates. Employee turnover is rapid, with departures occurring on very short notice. Raising operational concerns or proposing improvements consistently leads to immediate termination, without acknowledgment or substantive response from management. Documented instances indicate that formal communications from the company in response to employee grievances contain material inaccuracies - especially as seen on responses to feedback on Glassdoor! Prospective applicants are advised to carefully assess these patterns before considering employment....
