Pros

- high flexibility - nice location - free coffee

Cons

- Management often boasts about having many clients, but in reality, there are very few active job orders. Most key clients are actually contacts from previous colleagues, not new business. - Each consultant usually only has one or two jobs to work on, making it nearly impossible to earn an attractive commission. - There is no proper system in place; processes and information are very disorganized. - The commission scheme looks attractive on paper, but in practice, it is almost impossible to achieve. - office size is extremely small, less than 200sq.ft and sitting 5-7 people - no medical insurance - no wfh policy

Pros

-2hours lunch -Close to MTR station -Free coffee

Cons

-Business Development & Client Pipeline Most job orders appear to come from limited internal networks rather than active team sourcing. Many positions feel inactive, resulting in frequent CV submissions with minimal client feedback or follow-up. This makes it difficult to build meaningful client relationships or close deals consistently. -Work Environment & Team Dynamics The office atmosphere can feel tense and demotivating at times. There are instances of disrespectful behavior and poor communication among team members that go unaddressed by management, creating an uncomfortable working environment. -Inconsistent Standards & Fairness Expectations around business development, punctuality, and performance are not applied equally across consultants at the same level. Some team members face stricter requirements while others appear to have more leniency, which can lead to frustration and a sense of unfairness. -Compensation Structure The commission scheme makes it hard to earn a competitive income. Consultants are required to share a significant portion of their commission with the company on top of existing fees, combined with performance thresholds that are difficult to meet consistently.
