Pros

- Pre-hire marketing to get candidates to accept an offer - General concept - Startup bootcamp - Nice people

Cons

Where do I start: - This sounds terrible to say but we are adding ZERO value to any partner and unless things change remarkably, rainmaking may not last very long, especially in Asia - To be brutally honest, the quality of talent around is mediocre at best! Even the regional leadership in APAC is a bit of a joke. Sorry but this is the candid truth. - No career progression opportunities for those who'd like to stick around for some reason - Toxic culture - Terrible pay/benefits which may explain the general talent quality - Worst of all- absolutely no desire to work on tons of constructive feedback - The recent 5 star reviews on glassdoor are fake/manufactured. Saw that being done first hand. Was suggested to contribute as well but I choose to be honest!

Pros

This is a very flexible work environment, much different than what I am used to in conventional workspaces. Working from home, and as long as you need to with a stress on building a healthy work-life balance has made the experience fantastic. That being said, there are realistic expectations for the work, but you work among innovative and creative minds who bring a wealth of experience from different industries and ideate all day long. It's been a boon to learn from people like this day to day.

Cons

I don't have any complaints, I recognize that I am joining a growing team and that whatever growing pains are there are just challenges of fostering growth in a new office.

Thanks a lot for this review! Flexibility and agility are indeed key characteristics of our work environment. Our presence in the US has increased significantly and quite fast over the past couple of years, and we're impressed with how our new teams handle the fast growth and rapid change.

Pros

- Interesting projects - Decent salary - Fast paced environment - Great location

Cons

- Toxic culture beneath the surface level - Stark contrast from their culture book and between offices - Gap between aspirational values and actual values - High turnover - Poor management - Full of unscrupulous, cutthroat people - Poor benefits My experience may not be universal. I recommend you research the specific team you are considering joining.
