Pros

1. If you are with director grade like me, you can enjoy filthy luxury lunch or dinner meeting with potential customers or treating oversea consultants that travelled from other countries for delivery. Spend over 1000 USD for dinner is not unusual and with no shame. 2. Of coz lah, taking Uber Black is a must for everyday travel.To save more budget for entertainment with customers, you can enforce the workers to take cheapest public transport for onsite work on the other hand. 3. If you are senior management in HK, you can hold up the allocated training budget from consultants so as to meet better P&L by cutting down the cost lah. Projected and actual P&L can reflect a big different. Labour force in HK is easy to manage, they are stupid enough to train up themselves with their own pocket money, of coz, we can force them to take annual leave themselves. 4. Its a good platform for startup as we can contract out current services to our own company that used to be delivery by those Kayu full-time consultants. 5. Cheap labour force rulez, we can arrow junior staffs to take over PM to presales works with low cost.

Cons

1. Senior managers from other regions visit us quite often, used up a pile of cash and time to entertain them. 2. Need to keep the illusion to customers that we still have a strong team, though most consultants can't stay longer than 1 year in average. Presales still need to present in conference call even when they left the company.

Pros

None, Do not apply for this company

Cons

Bench Policy for consulting is a slap in the face. Within 2 months it has been changed twice, now you have 2 weeks to find new work for yourself and fulfillment gives you no help whatsoever. The turnover is so high that it is impossible to establish a network within the company, meaning you will be out on the street with barely any severance by the time you have completed onboarding.
