Pros

Passionate colleagues who are serious about growing the business. Winning mindset and is willing to put in the extra mile. Good working relationship with cross-functional teams.

Cons

Top-down approach only. Senior management is a joke. The directors are all puppets, mostly just doing the talk and has no capability. Constantly changing of directions and they simply just can’t make up their mind. Work life balance is impossible. Be expected to be in countless unproductive meetings on a day-to-day basis and actual work can only start after working hour. Unrealistic expectations on managers and anyone who has tendered on their own accord will be labelled as ‘underperforming individuals’. Too much of red tape in the company. Super backwards company especially in the area of e-commerce but acted like they are the first who have started the digital / e-commerce first strategy. A bunch of clueless directors who have no relevant experience.

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
