Pros

1- Incitement has an awesome culture, full of freedom, fun activities and work and life balance. Every Thursdays are Pool day, everyone can swim at the pool in the Office complex or work next to the pool. We have a lot of Games in the office. Once a week we have dinner all together. We also attend in several parties. 2- At Incitement everyone can work from home one to two days a week. Every Friday, everyone works from home. 3- Colleagues are very cool and friendly. 4- On everyone's birthday, The Cultural Director will buy a cake or gift and we celebrate it together. 5- Incitement provides learning materials for everyone in the team to grow. You can order any book you like once a month + you will have unlimited access to some of top learning websites like Lynda.com. 6- Everyone who does a great job in the company, will be appreciated by fun fund. 7- Everyone gets Macbook for work. 8- Incitement will send all staffs to an awesome trip together to a nice island once a year to retreat! 9- Incitement sponsors us for participating in seminars and conferences 10- Everyone get paid a few days before start of a month to not to have stress at the end of a month! 11- Every week company provides healthy snacks for the team to not to eat so many junk food at workplace! 12- The most important one: everything we do at Incitement is for good of society because it is a Social Enterprise. Projects are meaningful and all of them are about helping people. Like in 2015 we had two projects. one was helping flood affected people in Malaysia and another one was about lighting up underprivileged rural areas with solar power. I feel everything I did, could change someone's life. This gives me a very good satisfaction from my job.

Cons

1- Even there are several Senior staffs in the team, its still a young company so you won't have the chance to work with so many senior people and learn from them. 2- In tech team, you are always busy as always there are so many pending jobs in the queue. 3- There are several meetings and distractions in the workplace. These meetings have good purposes but They creates pause in your job. If you need full focus at your workplace then You may find it very difficult to concentrate easily.

Thanks for the review & feedback! More seniors are on the way for sure - it's been a matter of creating predictable and sustainable continuity in our business to generate enough resources to attract senior top talent. We're almost there, in fact, we're already in the process of interviewing several senior people to join the team. We definitely agree with you, we'll be bringing more seasoned people onto the team soon. For the meetings - we have reduced the amount of meetings to 1 team meeting per week, and 1 company-wide meeting per week. Meaning everybody will only have 2 meetings, all of which will happen on Tuesdays - and that's it. We don't want a meeting culture where we have meetings for the sake of having meetings, so thank you for pointing it out, we hope you like the fix for it :-) Bigger office is coming!

Pros

Incitement is not another conventional working place, it is a place where you can do what you love and make a contribution to the world while doing it. You will always have support, guidance, and feedback. This helps you to improve and learn everyday. You are available to give your opinion and ideas to contribute to the whole team because the team is super important and it is like a family with amazing people from different countries and cultural backgrounds. They are more than colleagues, they are friends and the fun continues after work with dinners, trips, parties and more. At Incitement everyone cares about you and your personal and professional growth. They recognized your work and the monetary compensation will be a result of it. You can manage your time, it is important to be responsible and get your job done. The holidays and time off are not worries at Incitement, you will have more than enough. You have flexible hours, pool day (it does not mean no work to do, it means you can work from the pool area and swim or enjoy the sun if you like it) and even better, you can work from home on Fridays. They provide tools for success, from laptops to books and learning courses, and many more. Another good thing is that you do not have a dress code, not suits and ties if you do not like it. You can be yourself and feel comfortable. Transparency and respect are also important.

Cons

The office is nicer every day but it is getting small

By October 1st, 2016 (when we have MSC status) you will set foot into a brand new office, bigger, better, and faster internet :-) Unfortunately without MSC status we can't do much, the downside of doing business in Malaysia... We're working on it! Thanks for your feedback :-)

Pros

Incitement has a pretty unique work culture, there's a balance of work and fun where everyone works hard and then party hard as a pat on the back. Incitement has flexible working hours, pool day takes place every Thursday (swimming is optional if you prefer to sit by the pool and do your work instead), and a work at home day. Days of paid leave is also quite flexible but as long as you get your work done. You get to work with people coming from different countries and cultural background whom are not only your colleagues but are your friends. Once you join the team, you become part of the Incitement family. They really care about your growth whether it's personal or professional, so everyone needs to come up with their own learning goals, how to achieve and utilise them, there's also a weekly progress/performance meeting just to check in on how everyone is doing. Incitement promotes learning and encourages it so they will sponsor one book a month for every individuals and any courses, seminars or workshops that will benefit your profession in any way. There are beanbags and everyone gets a Macbook (for work purposes). What I like the most about Incitement is that, there's no hierarchy, everyone just treats each other equally and with respect.

Cons

While the office is a great place to be at, the open space may be a little distracting at times when you need to fully concentrate on your work.

We couldn't agree more with your feedback, thanks for that! In order to address this issue we've reduced the amount of meetings to 1 meeting per team every week, and all meetings will happen on the same day. So there's 4 days per week without meetings. Also on Friday you can work from home to boost your productivity, and on Thursday we work from the pool. Last but not least, we've implemented Silent Hour, so that every morning until lunch the office is quiet and peaceful, without any distractions. Hopefully these fixes will help reduce distractions :-)
