Pros

Nothing is good about Hyphen. Its all promises and deception to employees

Cons

CEO is con and hoax. Takes advantage of students, interims, and those starting up to make a career. They only have empty promises, pays low and makes you beg to get paid. This company has been reported authorities including VDAB and Randstad for HR cases. If you see them in any online ads, shut the browser.

Pros

- Great place to learn and grow - Management is willing to mentor and help you learn - Colleagues are very diverse, come from all corners of the world. Makes for interesting and fun workplace - If you prove yourself capable, the opportunities here are incredible. You could be given full ownership over a project, and even put in charge of a team - Fast growing company that recently received considerable funding from VERY credible investors - Great market opportunity for the space the company is developing in - Many teams and positions and flexible arrangements where you could move around teams if you want wider exposure - Hong Kong is a great place to work and live - and so much more... Honestly could not recommend this company enough!

Cons

- Typical frustrations of working at a startup: - Lack of engineering talent in Hong Kong makes it difficult to find and retain good programmers (but this is a widespread problem across startups in Hong Kong) - You need to be very self-driven to succeed here. You need to be able to own your project/product/code, be eager to learn, and keep an open-minded - For former bankers/consultants: startup culture is very different from banking/consultancy culture in terms of work/life balance. Which could actually be a bad thing when you're leading a team and used to being a perfectionist

Pros

- remuneration package was very decent when compare to similar institutions - good at making content that make people thinks it's a nice

Cons

- low quality service - scam reward mechanism, no one follow up with the enquiries - worst HR department i have never seen in my past over 15 years experience, only say what they want to say and they don't listen, employee review was robotic, ask questions, then you answered with no continue conversation. it was not a conversation - bad culture - financial completely rely on investors and large scale retrenchment can be happen suddenly, it happened few times already but they never announced
