GlassesGroupGlobal Reviews

Pros

I was lucky to have a nice team, but that is the only good thing I can tell.

Advice to Management

Get new management, try again.

Pros

Lot of experience and new knowledge,

Advice to Management

To ceo: chris, please wait the summon from the labor's deparment.
To nova founder: better close office also.

Pros

You get to be your own boss, literally you are. Let me explain, the company is structured in a way that you have your set of task and outcomes to be achieved, but you have the flexibility to come up with your own ways to achieving it, so far as its in line with the company’s business model. This is something you wouldn’t get in most other Ecommerce companies. And to be fair there are times where you can do this to the extent you would like. But then again you still have the flexibility you would need to bring out that genius side of you that’s in a closet.

Having worked for the other Big Ecommerce companies in KL, there is always one thing that makes GlassesGroupGlobal stand out, it’s the staffs. It’s like having handpicked individuals come together to work for a company. They are friendly and very helpful at work and as well as off working hours, and did I say the company compromises of multi-racial staffs.

Opportunities are endless, I enhanced my business acumen within months of working here. I wasn’t so business inclined at first but relating with other departments and colleagues I learnt a whole lot.

From, Making extensive Business Analysis,
-Integrating Business Intelligence to help your decision making,
-Making Complicated Pivot tables & to display Big Data in an excel dashboard with the right filters.

Down to the technical part, API integration with various marketplaces,
-Coming up with concepts for internal pricing tools.

Best past was that I learnt enough to the extent that I recommended API upgrade to one of the Big marketplaces in South East Asia and they took my ideas and made the necessary upgrade. My CV is super potent all cause of the opportunity i got working here.

Advice to Management

Just have to give abit more insight as to where the company is headed. Also there are few others avenues to increase staff retention that hasn't been explored and as well as show staff appreciation.

Other than that, good job to the company management.

Pros

- Great atmosphere inside and between departments
- The turnover has been reduced and teams are now more stable
- Good relationship with the management
- The company is still growing up
- Still a lot to do and to learn

Advice to Management

It would be great to have from time to time, some insights about:
- the actual strategy of the company
- the future strategies of the company (new products, new countries, new way of selling, etc.)

This could be done through a meeting every 3 months or just by an email.

It is always good to know Where we're going and Why.

Pros

I like that I am trusted with the responsibilities and given the freedom to improve my channel performance. The team is great - really friendly bunch and always willing to help.

The management definitely keeps you on your toes and pushes you out of your comfort zone. If you like challenges, want to have a steep learning curve, in general willing to put in extra effort, and excited to grow, this is definitely the place to work.

Pros

I worked with GlassesGroupGlobal in Kuala Lumpur for 1.5 years and have real life experienced how the company has evolved from a small team in a crowded and hot little office cramped full of people to a global company active in 15 markets across Asia, Australia and Europe. To be honest, there were times when I really didn`t like it, but bottom line and looking backwards, I really enjoyed working there. I left the company last autumn to start my own venture with some friends. Now that I run my own company I can really see how much my learnings from Glasses are helping me today. Building a company from scratch is a lot about bringing structure into an unstructured environment. Glasses has done a tremendous transition from its very early days to where it stands today. And I am proud to have been able to contribute my little part to it. `

Advice to Management

Spend more time with the team outside the office by organising offsite events and more informal get togethers. I still have many friends from my time at Glasses from back. But I feel it could be done even more in terms of company culture. Focus not only on the KPIs.

Pros

The team is great. There is always a talent and a helping hand everywhere.

Advice to Management

Please value your staffs. they are talented. They are your talent pool. Stop abusing them. Maybe some direction will be good.

Pros

Since I have joined this company has changed A LOT. Good or Bad, I'll let you decide, but here are the hard facts:

When I joined just over a year ago there were a lot of employees who were unable to work independently and unwilling to get their hands dirty with the difficult work.

Slowly these people started to leave and the company & culture started to evolve. Working here, it's not everyone. If you're expecting to have your hand held and to constantly be told what to do, this is not the place for you. If you want an environment where you're left to work incredibly independently, where you're empowered and respected all the same, a company where you can make a real difference and even be recognized for your work, this is the place to be!

The pros of working in this company - The learning opportunities.

Since I had joined i had learned how to:

- Set up new markets (From Nigeria all the way to South America)
- How to handle external partners internationally
- How to make money off multiple International Marketplaes
- How to be make money off multiple International Deal Sites
- How to lead a team
- How to manage digital marketing pop-ups + e-mail Campaigns
- How to use magento
- How to tweak ui/ux features
- How to manage SEM/SEO

The list really goes on!

(Just a disclaimer but t I was only able to learn this because of my initiatives, and if you have your own initiatives, then the same opportunities can be found here for you too)

Ooh, and there's always beer and pizza's after every monthly meeting!

Advice to Management

Keep up the good momentum and positive vibes!
Pay closer attention to employee attitudes and morale.

Pros

Great co-workers and colleagues
Fast paced environment

Advice to Management

Appreciate and value employees contribution
Restructure the company

Pros
