Pros

The monthly bonus payout can be good (IF you achieve the monthly goal which is very difficult and demanding)

Cons

- AS hires fresh grads in their early 20s with no prior experience. These people go on to become managers within 3 years. The managers micromanage you to the point that they will ask you to come to work early and leave late, Have a problem if you resist and will not give you autonomy. - The expectation is for you to put in extra hours - till 10-11pm everyday - Everyone feels entitled to provide ‘feedback’ for as little as typing loudly on the desk or not responding within 5 minutes. - My mental health really suffered during my time there and no money is worth the micromanagement and criticism. - They have certain policies that are not revealed until you join and they offer little to no flexibility in work from home. Please talk to ex employees and not currents, before joining! - A company with such a high employee turnover is a red flag. They don’t care about the employees and expect people to leave after 6 months
