Pros
- Excellent compensation package for the coding enrichment field.
- Generous incentives (commissions, bonuses) and allowances (tech/gym).
- Valued perks like "Workout Wednesdays".
Cons
Challenging Management:
Feedback style heavily focused on negatives, often felt overly critical or personal, and was primarily delivered during formal reviews rather than regular check-ins. Management seemed unreceptive to employee perspectives.
Unrealistic Workload & Expectations:
Expectations, particularly for dual development/teaching roles, felt excessive, leading to frequent, unacknowledged overtime (avg. 2-3 hrs daily). Productivity expectations often involved direct comparisons to management's own work ethic/output, failing to recognize the significant differences in roles, compensation levels, and inherent incentives between business ownership and lower-paid, fixed-salary staff.
Communication Gaps:
Lack of clarity on expectations upfront and ambiguity regarding variable bonus terms/eligibility caused issues.
Discouraging Culture:
Environment felt underappreciative due to the constant focus on shortcomings.
PS: A simple LinkedIn search on past Computhink Staff will reveal the average tenure is barely 1 year.
