Pros

Friendly co-workers, and.....yeah that's all.

Cons

Save your time, save your energy, save your talent and WORK ELSEWHERE. This company's turnover rate is extremely high: Within 2 months, I saw 9 of my colleagues get fired/leave. Most of our team members only lasted a few short months, and after that they're either FIRED or they just can't take it anymore so they QUIT. Zero work-life balance as they expect you to still work and answer your phone/email well after office hours, sometimes on weekends and public holidays too. No prospect for growth either as you'll forever be stuck at the same position, doing the same job, at the same salary. They'll look for excuses to fire you and then badmouth you to your next employer. No, this company's HQ is not in Australia, it's in Malaysia. No, your colleagues are not "from all over the world", they're mostly Malaysians. All the fancy things they claim here or on Jobstreet/LinkedIn/elsewhere is mostly false to lure you into working for them. Wait for a company that truly cares for you, because Comfort Works isn't it. I'll give this company 0 star if I could.

I want to thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We are not used to receiving one-star reviews so we are not happy that your experience working here has been unsatisfactory and it means that in your case, we have failed somewhere along the line. You are correct- there has been a sudden influx of people departing the company. Growing from an 8 man "family-run" startup to a 40 person "performance-based team" with a daring vision in 3 months is like building a car while driving it - in the dark - while the road is on fire. While some people rallied around the mission to disrupt and innovate - some have decided that this may not be the right fit/place for them- and that's OK! Upward mobility and transparency is a key focus for us, and we are working on how to better inform employees on career trajectory and what it takes to get promoted/advance at CW. We're committed to rolling out training programs that will help our managers and team to grow to be the best leaders/specialist they can be. We also have some openings for more senior members to help us gain experience in scaling, but I do stand behind the people here who add a lot of value and bringing us all to the next mile. The best objective testimonial to the product and our amazing team success (besides some growing pains) is our customer happiness, success, repeat buyers and facebook/google reviews. All in, I'm sorry we let you down. We are taking your feedback and addressing all the places we missed in delivering a great experience for you ... Thank you for all that you do and best of luck in your future endeavors. With Gratitude Rachel Yeng Co-Founder

Pros

Been here for 7 months and enjoying the experience so far. The people are super nice and always willing to help, it truly feels like a putting team first culture. Management is also approachable and hands-on, which makes it easy to get support or guidance when needed. Great environment!

Cons

Benefits might not be on the competitive side and things can lean on the structured/planning heavy side but overall, is a nice place to work at.
