Pros

Lazada must be considered a giant sinking ship. Leaders jump the e-commerce equivalent of the Titanic faster than you can open your eyes. So many executives from Alibaba (the parent company) have come and (a few months later) left again that you would probably need a kilometer long wall to put all their pictures up to admire the Great Wall of Business Failure. If you ever wanted to drown, this company is for you!

Cons

Tremendous leadership issues, tremendous privacy issues, incredibly negative corporate culture, abysmal internal communication, stifling micromanagement, mind-boggling lack of empathy from the so-called leadership, an all-pervading sense of unhappiness at the office. Even the Titanic had less problems (and, if you remember, most people in that movie died).
