Pros
- Attire is casual and culture is relaxed - Colleagues are in general friendly and good natured - Meeting of amazing creators and designers - Fun projects and events once in a while - Has a positive image in front of the media, public, government
Cons
- Poor management with no clear direction, many dreams not enough planning and doing - Superiors who wish for short term personal gains - No health, dental or any sort of compensation given - They expect you to work OT, weekends and PH uncompensated, but when you take leave, they calculate it down to the half day. - Lack of proper infrastructure and systems - Unwillingness of management to invest in upgrading systems for growth - No clear KPI to define performance, you are deemed as contributing as long as the core members think that you are - Career opportunities are limited if you are not in the core team, everyone else is just dispensable - Pay is pitifully low. Yes a profit sharing model was agreed upon but the amount received is at least 2 times lower than what was promised as the "norm" - Management is supposed to on same payment method, but actually has a fixed minimum pay drawn in bad months; very very unfair system that is not clearly explained to the staff - Claims to be helping designers and creators but delays their payment very often - Small suppliers who dont ask sometimes dont get paid - Long hours that they expect you to clock is a small matter. Issue is, those time spent can honestly be avoided if proper planning was done
