Pros

- The TA who interviewed me took an honest and open approach to share about how's the company doing, and were also curious and genuine to find out more about me. They also followed up quickly to keep me updated and informed on my status and next steps, which I really appreciated. When it comes to negotiating salary, they created an environment where I felt safe to voice out honestly. - My experience with the team and people in general so far has been friendly, supportive and easy-going. It's my first role in a start up and it is a drastic difference from my previous corporate role - where everyone says hi to one another regardless of roles. It's a working environment where I feel free to show up as myself, to be curious, to voice out and be heard, to take charge and to learn.

Cons

- Some administrative processes are not set up just yet so you do have to be observant and curious to find out from others - Some people processes are not standardized as well which I think would contribute to the difference in the experience you will receive as compared to others

Pros

- Great place to learn and grow - Management is willing to mentor and help you learn - Colleagues are very diverse, come from all corners of the world. Makes for interesting and fun workplace - If you prove yourself capable, the opportunities here are incredible. You could be given full ownership over a project, and even put in charge of a team - Fast growing company that recently received considerable funding from VERY credible investors - Great market opportunity for the space the company is developing in - Many teams and positions and flexible arrangements where you could move around teams if you want wider exposure - Hong Kong is a great place to work and live - and so much more... Honestly could not recommend this company enough!

Cons

- Typical frustrations of working at a startup: - Lack of engineering talent in Hong Kong makes it difficult to find and retain good programmers (but this is a widespread problem across startups in Hong Kong) - You need to be very self-driven to succeed here. You need to be able to own your project/product/code, be eager to learn, and keep an open-minded - For former bankers/consultants: startup culture is very different from banking/consultancy culture in terms of work/life balance. Which could actually be a bad thing when you're leading a team and used to being a perfectionist

Pros

- remuneration package was very decent when compare to similar institutions - good at making content that make people thinks it's a nice

Cons

- low quality service - scam reward mechanism, no one follow up with the enquiries - worst HR department i have never seen in my past over 15 years experience, only say what they want to say and they don't listen, employee review was robotic, ask questions, then you answered with no continue conversation. it was not a conversation - bad culture - financial completely rely on investors and large scale retrenchment can be happen suddenly, it happened few times already but they never announced
