Vantaggi

- Convenient to travel - Fast process - Good benefit & salary

Svantaggi

1. HR Communication issue - No exit process - Bad handover process 2. Work-Life Balance - No respect in personal time - Have to join meetings even on sick leave, personal leave, and sometimes public holiday. Or else consequences will follow (be blamed for the decision made on the day you were absent) - Called on a weekend to join a meeting - Called on Sunday at 11 PM to get a job done before 8 AM on Monday - Called before work hour and failed to respond within 1 hour, got feedback for having a communication issue 3. Politics with upper management - Pointing fingers and blaming the people who do the actual execution whenever anything goes wrong, and no responsibility from upper management - CEO keeps telling people to 'be open' but you can't be open, have to play the politics and if you don't, there will be consequences - survival is the key 4. Unrealistic project timeline - Timeline given for huge projects are not reasonable - If you fail to meet that timeline, all the blames and finger-pointing starts 5. Lack of expertise - Decision-makers lack the expertise to make an appropriate decision - Putting the wrong people in the wrong job (wrong skillset) due to lack of resources

I hear you and it must have been frustrating for you to navigate the complexity of working in a hyper-growth start-up. Indeed, it is not everyone’s strength to thrive in a fast-paced environment that drives excellent performance and you have rightly pointed out that “survival is the key” in a competitive business environment. I believe that we could have done better to guide you to find your footing and work-life harmony in the Company. Rest assured we hear your feedback and will work on our communication approach. Thank you for being our mirror to help us scale new heights. If you are keen to share more constructive feedback, please drop me an email anytime at glassdoor@pplingo.com. – Amy, HR Director

Vantaggi

I've been using this platform for a while now, and I’m very satisfied with my experience. I initially want to address the penalty policy: I think it’s important to clarify that the deductions are only applied when rules are broken. It’s actually a fair system designed to maintain quality, and they give you two chances to appeal, which is very reasonable. The platform itself offers great flexibility with plenty of course slots available, making it easy to schedule lessons around a busy lifestyle. I also want to give a big shout-out to the admin. At first, I was struggling to get enough bookings. After I reached out for help, my coordinator guided me on how to improve my self-introduction video and profile. Following their advice, my booking rate increased significantly. Highly recommended for anyone looking to grow on this platform!

Svantaggi

So far everything is good.

Vantaggi

Quick bookings, small classes, prepared curriculum, variety of times to teach, attendance and homework checking incentives. The kids are very respectful and well-behaved, over all.

Svantaggi

Frequently changing policy with little or no notice. You must pay a fee to withdraw your earnings from a 3rd party. You are fined and the amount is deducted from your pay for a multitude of "infractions". The most recent are you are fined if homework is not checked within 48 hours even if you are on days off. No matter how far in advance you ask for time off, you will be fined for missing the class. You are only allowed to miss 6 HOURS of classes per quarter, more may result in dismissal. If you must be gone due to illness, you must provide documentation as proof or you will be fined. We were forced to commit to a 24 week schedule (6 months) and given less than a week to do so. Policies are added to/changed, often. It is very unclear who you are to go to for questions and help.
