Pros
- Loads of promotion opportunities because the turnover rate is very high. If you are seeking a quick boost with your title before engaging in a real job, here is the perfect place. - You can describe yourself as someone who wear multiple hats in your next job interview, because taking up cross-department duties is a must when the company is always understaffed and has a complete absent of actual management. - Great chance to be part of the entrepreneurial/RegTech/digital- hype because your LinkedIn network does not have to know that you actually work at a website production sweatshop which objects to forming any kind of SLA. Client therefore has no ground to sue even you hear about it all the time. - Major operation crises and service failures happen more often than you can ever imagine. Unlike any other companies, front-line staff take full responsibility in resolving crises while operation management disengages as much as possible providing no remedies. No one will steal your thunder so you can be creative. - Cross-department team-spirit is seen as a huge threat against the local management because people were united in addressing management's problems. Op management (who also represents HR) makes sure people can't bond over internal conflicts. If you are lucky, you will be hired as executive assistant to help dividing people, spreading paranoia and such. That's a rare opportunity for good money.
Cons
- HR oversells the company at interviews with buzzwords like entrepreneurial/RegTech/digital, new joiners feel cheated after working for 2 days.
