Pros

Decent salary. Good and polite Vietnamese teammates.

Cons

- I feel exhausted right off the bat. They laid off all the employees and put the immense workload on 1 or 2 people left. - Indian managers are terrible, super micromanagement. Lack of decent knowledge on the area that they manage. Disrespectful to their employees well-being and schedule. Constant immediate spreadsheet filling so that they have the numbers to talk about with upper management instead of doing it themselves. - No work-life balance. Very unhealthy environment that exhausts their employees - Niche product, poor management. If we have a good and considerate management, the app could have had a better future - Their balance sheet doesn't look so good - unhealthy Sales/Revenue/Bookings obession, applied as the sole KPI across all deparments, even for technical departments - a 10 year-old company but has very poor revenue and poor number of people that actually use the product, which is a waste of effort from dev

Pros

- Global & diverse environment - Chances to explore and try new things - Supportive colleagues, especially Vietnam team

Cons

- Low salary without clear pay raise structure - Micromanagement & weak leadership skills - Consistantly laid off employees in the name of AI, while cut off headcount. Putting immense workload on current employees, without any "AI" in sight for help. Only human - Regardless of your experience, exceeding KPIs, or always deliver tasks perfectly, the company won't care as they set unrealistic targets and using them as a weapon to fight back any pay raise requests - The current company culture and structure is a complete mess, filled with corporate politics - Doesn't have a clear workflows, leading to confusion and disorientation because the leadership themselves are confused

Pros

• Strong market positioning and regional exposure. • Opportunity to work across APAC and strategic partnerships. • Fast-paced environment with high ownership expectations.

Cons

A significant concern during my tenure involved governance clarity around managerial directives and compensation structures. Additional scope was assigned by direct management beyond original job responsibilities, and the work was performed in good faith based on leadership direction and internal communications. However, when compensation eligibility was later discussed, HR declined recognition on the basis that no formally documented policy had been finalized. This creates a structural issue: If employees are expected to execute work based on managerial authority, but compensation discussions are later deemed “non-reliable” due to documentation gaps, it places disproportionate risk on employees operating within a reporting structure. The core issue was not disagreement over policy interpretation, but the absence of clear accountability standards when managerial communication and HR governance are misaligned. Repeated efforts to seek clarification were met with position-based responses rather than neutral review. For an organization scaling regionally, formal documentation and alignment between management direction and HR enforcement are critical to maintaining employee trust.
