Pros

- Diligent marketing team, constantly looking for awards to boost the reputation of the company and beautify what would otherwise be the essence of a substandard entity. - Located in a decent central location in CBD, where good food options are accessible. - A monthly salary is provided.

Cons

- Overly egoistic Management who are disappointingly incompetent, lacking both the ability to run the business efficiently and the integrity to make money the right way. - Poor “tone from the top” with regards to setting an upright and balanced culture, giving way too much power/priority to the Sales end and grossly overpaying selected incapable front end staff. - Inept handling of disrespectful staff by Management in general, allowing insubordination to occur frequently and leading to high levels of conflict and cultural toxicity internally. - Childish, unprofessional, delusional and possibly intellectually disabled Sales/Partnerships Management with no intention of working well with others for the benefit of the company, but only milking the company for personal gains. - Circumvention/overriding of risk and compliance mechanisms designed to protect the company and its customers, signed off by Management so they can hit monthly targets. - Strange culture of promoting/rewarding worthless brown-nosers but not valuing truly diligent and competent staff, clear evidence of Management’s lack of judgement and intelligence. - Management spreading the habit and culture of over-promising and under-delivering, leading to many unfinished or poorly executed projects/tasks. - Claims to be a P2P company but exercises pure inequality in dealing with both groups of customers; facilitates the lending of Investors’ funds to SMEs under questionable circumstances in order to hit targets, all under the steer and contentious exceptions granted by Management. - Whole company momentum as set by Management is driven by speed compared to quality, backed by an immature mindset of still being a startup, as an ultimate excuse for the high volatility and instability of processes within the corporate structure. - Management only concerned with their own titles/positions and pride, occasionally circulating announcements on each other’s “achievements” and “promotions”.

Cons

- Management poor hiring of some people leads to huge losses - Blind favoritism offering high salaries, promotions and titles to a team which cannot deliver. The team is now non-existent - The lead of that team goes on to lead, delivering no results and driving away capable people
