Pros
- An absolutely silent working environment is provided for focused work, despite the company consistently emphasizing a modern and open working environment in its description. Music or noise is prohibited. A super quiet workspace can be enjoyed by the general public. In personal rooms, like those owned by the human resources team, individual music can be played. - Abundant opportunities exist to explore different administrative and human resources duties. Chances are given to familiarize oneself with duties like receptionist tasks and managing business with couriers. Becoming knowledgeable in various, ambiguous human resources procedures is possible as the human resources executive remains consistently occupied with their own meetings, potentially leading to their room being closed. - Teams foster a wonderful spirit, allowing individuals to cultivate different friendships here. Even while in different teams, arranging a special room to sit closely with others is possible. - Good benefits include the option to work from home with careful monitoring via a simple recording system. Being proactive in filling out a simple Google form to record work from home is necessary. However, being cautious about the dates and reminding HR staff to create a new sheet for each new week is crucial. Otherwise, incorrect information may lead to suspicion, potentially affecting your rights to work from home. - Micromanagement, such as reminders to tidy up desks and cups, is common here. However, individuals savvy enough can always find space to develop their side business. - An excellent overtime system is in place. Client needs take priority, and overtime is compensated. However, approval is required for each hour of overtime worked. This system encourages a mindset where one should reconsider working before doing so. To avoid the cumbersome application process, tasks can be postponed to the following day.
Cons
- There's a noticeable shift in almost every team towards emphasizing sales activities and business development, potentially conflicting with the career progression of professionals aiming for production roles. Flexibility in roles becomes essential, as the assigned salesperson may not be fluent in your language, such as a non-native speaker. This necessitates acting as translators, producers of sales decks, presenters, and conducting meetings at various stages. Failing to do so could jeopardize the sales team's ability to secure projects. Although the company's team spirit is positive, encouraging people to lend assistance, it also acts as a limiting factor for the sales team's growth. - HR policies undergo frequent changes without accompanying explanations. The company employs junior human resource staff, resulting in a lack of senior-level experience. This situation forces junior HR staff to work closely with financial executives on other matters, resulting in minimal support for routine procedures like onboarding training, welcoming new team members, conducting exit interviews, explaining HR procedures, or even verifying basic contract terms. Errors in contract details such as notice periods are unforeseeable under these circumstances.
