Pros
1. Work environment is great, colleagues in teams are supportive and enthusiastic. All working after a common goal and cause! 2. Weekly team lunches and regular gatherings that helps to cut the mundane from working in a highly demanding and stressful environment 3. Company is backed by big investors - Alibaba, and other insurance companies. Funding is secure compared to other start-ups
Cons
1. No bonus or pay raise, even if you work long for the company 2. Sacrifice & passion are commonly mentioned in every townhall and whenever the CEO, Danny speaks. But he fails to recognise that passion cannot feed a family and sacrifice can only go so far before being burnt out! 3. High turnover rate. Higher management believes in hiring the best, but they cannot offer good benefits. No medical reimbursements or family leave. Lots of talents hired but most left before reaching 1 year 4. Slow hiring rate. Many people leave but few gets hired to replace them. Heavier workload for those who stay. Those hired also leave within a few months. The cycle repeats throughout the year 4. Very demanding work environment, especially from the higher management who does not have clear directions and goals. Also they do not teach you the ropes if you are new, you are just thrown in to the deep ocean and have to figure how to swim fast if not you drown! 5. Feedback to the higher management is not often heard or they hear you but do not act on it
