As a business unit within the Alibaba Group, Alibaba.com was founded on its salesforce, which still has its sways in these days.
- Products are mostly scam and sales are hoax.
- Departmental barriers exists with while team functions and responsibilities are often blurred.
- Legal bears business goals, while leadership does not understand or choose to overlook risks.
- Restructures are frequent and followed by lay off every six months.
- Emphasis on report and presentation over what was actually done.
- Senior leadership is out of touch and rarely grasp the technicalities, mid-level passes down orders, and the ground troops do everything.
- Majority of people have questionable principle, boundary, or respect for coworkers. And expect late night calls or messages.
