Pros
In 2022, the people are very nice and helpful. It's easy to collaborate even though the team is split in Jakarta and Singapore. The company has potential and meaningful work. Companies have a low threshold on the skills required to work here. If you enjoy being thrown with new challenges every day, then you will feel comfortable working here. Great place for internships and fresh graduates as enthusiasm is valued more than real skills.
Cons
1. Management also doesn't like to listen to feedback. It often feels like management is waiting for someone else to come in and run the company while they just want to focus on BD or ops. 2. Most good people go to greener pastures elsewhere and new hires are more interested in following what management says than doing the right thing. For example- HR forces people to write positive things about the company and share them on Instagram. If you don't agree, you will be branded as poison and slowly isolated. 3. The ever-changing product roadmap and company direction. Every week new things will be thrown in depending on the wishes and desires of the CEO. There is no long-term vision and plan for the company. 4. Randomly working on unreasonable projects in unnecessary short timeline that leave staff feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. None of the projects launch properly. Initiatives started with media attention but quietly closed after few months. 5. New ideas are valued more than good ideas. If that sounds fancy and exciting then management loves you no matter how bad the idea is. Experienced people are ignored and sometimes even sidelined because they ask questions about these bad ideas. You'll be branded a "blocker" if you say the idea is problematic. 6. Management is biased towards Singapore and pays little attention to employees in Indonesia. Better benefits for the Singapore team compared to the benefits in Indonesia. 7. The culture adopted by management is very different from the culture that is actually followed in the company. There is no transparency in the company and inquiries are not welcome. 8. No work-life balance. Constant pressure to chase one random project after another. Constant requests to do something at night and show it the next morning, and then no questions asked about it for another 2-3 days. Makes people wonder why they have to do it overnight if it's not urgent. 9. No financial planning or budgeting. So no one knows how much is allowed to spend and how much is not.
