Vantaggi

* Nice views from office windows * lunch break * Free pens, coffee mug and company branded shirts * Interesting products and business market (all related to cars) * Standard office environment - workspace, kitchen etc all average * You often get a bit of pizza and cup of coke if you have to work late

Svantaggi

* Flawed business models with gross overspending in the wrong areas such as outsourcing and marketing * Long term future of staff is not secure. Staff viewed as disposable and not as assets. * Haphazard and unstable plans and programme management for technology * Wrong choice of platforms for technology - mixture of LAMP, .NET and mobile tech instead of sticking to a single technology platform to provide for web, mobile and internal business applications * HR is totally incompetent at recruitment - unable to hire for key positions needed for the business * HR and top management is unable to retain key persons * Top Management / executives are condescending and colonial in their treatment of local staff * No parking in the office building for the majority of employees * No flexi-time and HR is mostly inconsiderate towards employees work-life balances. Under-time is checked and overtime is ignored which leaves employees penalized / short changed and demotivated to excel and push

As the CIO my door is always open and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to the comments here. They help us understand how to make iCar Asia a better place to work and where we have not explained clearly to all the mission of the company or why we make some of our decisions. We are passionate about the automotive industry and helping people buy and sell cars. 18 months ago we had little more than 1 employee and today we employ over 200+ staff in three countries. This growth is phenomenal which is a testament to the driven people who work inside iCar Asia. We are spending. There is no question. This investment is to tell the world about what we are doing (spending on marketing to drive awareness) and to build the core infrastructure that will sustain us in the long term. We are outsourcing to build systems and capability. Outsourcing is used to meet temporary increases in development demand. Our technology choices could not be 100% purely in one language. They can’t be. Not one language does everything exceptionally well, so we pick and choose our technologies where they fit the best. It would never be our intention to mislead or condescend our employees. As a digital business, our employees are one of our biggest assets. It is common knowledge that I have an open door policy – I welcome an opportunity to meet with you to discuss further.

Vantaggi

It was a good environment with a lot of flexibility for creativity. Pay was decent.

Svantaggi

Culture shifted heavily towards the end of my tenure due to acquisition by another company. Internal friction between marketing head and my team lead resulted in damaged client relationships due to disagreement on content strategy.
