Vantaggi
Few or no cases of office politics and it is largely task-oriented. The environment is not as supportive and friendly as advertised but nevertheless, it is based on a flat hierarchical structure. Even the office is small, with all the various operations department (editorial, redemption, customer service, business research, city planning etc) and sales teams squeezing into one open space with no compartments/structures separating them, the various departments are in general not familiar with other departments other than their own. Fast paced environment with a lot of work. Hence, it is interesting. Get to grow with a growing company.
Svantaggi
Long working hours despite low pay check. even though work place is designed to be an open area, intangible barriers still exists between departments. Lack of employee benefits. No proper pantry other than a drink dispenser. Have to bring your own cup and cannot use the plastic cups provided in the cupboard. Those cups are for guests only. very underpaid!!! No OVERTIME and long hours are usually expected from everyone. salaries are only around 2k on average, even for fresh grads out of local universities (NTU, NUS etc). This excludes the sales team of course.
