Pros

As working there was so tough, you tend to unite with other staff to get through so there is some nice people to work with. The Xmas party was nice once Yong stopped talking.

Cons

The owner is the worst person I have ever met in my life. Always starts a meeting by attacking someone, then spends 3 hours ranting about efficiency when it was meant to be a 10 minute chat. Will frequently go on about things from 5 years ago like it's your fault even if you weren't involved or part of the company at that point. The staff turnover is ridiculous, I counted almost 25 staff leave in less than a year when the amount of full time staff are only around 50-55 people maximum.

Pros

Flex start time is ok.

Cons

After minimal training on their archaic and broken systems, I knew it wasn’t going to work. Nightmare. I was messaged on Slack by one of the owners to tell me every mistake if made in a scolding manner. CAPS, !! And all. I even got an “ARGHH!” Never have I ever. Don’t accept bad treatment. You work with cameras on you and they eavesdrop. I have photos to prove all.

Pros

The salary may seem competitive at first glance, but there's usually a catch — especially in sales/admin/marketing roles, where the MD is heavily involved. The only genuinely good thing about this place is the team. The staff are talented, kind, and supportive — despite the culture they’re stuck in by leadership.

Cons

The working environment at this company is dictated entirely by the managing director’s behaviour — and it’s overwhelmingly negative. The MD is involved in every detail of the business and manages through fear, not leadership. Micromanagement is constant, and feedback is often delivered through shouting, public humiliation, and outright disrespect. The culture is so demoralising. It's difficult to raise concerns or improve things because the issues stem from the very top. Many of the positive reviews here appear to be faked or encouraged by the admin team, which doesn’t reflect the day-to-day reality. If you're considering working here, my honest advice is: don’t. Its really not worth it!!
