Pros

The product can generate stable income for the company. Infinite coffee to keep you awake.

Cons

Cofounders treat employees as slaves, either follow their order or get fired. Forcing employees to define unreasonable objective & key result (OKR) before quarter start, so they can blame and prohibit you from promotion during performance review at quarter end. They would extend your probation so as to layoff without compensation. First year of employment have no annual leave (have to take no-paid leave which is troublesome for those who need to rent). There was HKD6000 subsidy for new laptop, cancelled for all employees after mid 2016.

Thank you for your feedback. We have also updated our benefits timelines and offerings (including but not limited to annual leaves) to better align with employee needs as we have grown into a more mature "startup". We are now running scrum so expectations are clear from the beginning, emphasis is on collaboration, team work and contributing towards team goals. We have also grown our leadership team, brought onboard Head of Engineering as well as Head of People (HR) to improve recruitment, new joiner onboarding, performance management, people development and retention (to name a few areas). Last but not least, we have updated our 360 reviews structure and processes, invested in professional consulting services to help update our performance management initiatives and protocols.
