Pros

The colleagues there were really nice. There were many talented individuals that not only excelled in what they did, but also brought much fun and laughter to the otherwise mundane work.

Cons

The boss cannot lead a company. He is constantly sabotaging the efforts of his own employees by making bad decisions and being extremely stingy. He is also very protective of the sales team and constantly defends them at the expense of the rest of the team. During meetings, he also has the tendency to throw team members under the bus. Career opportunities are low and increments are very minimal. There is also not much training and structure available. Benefits are at bare minimum, and while both boss and HR likes promoting "family" culture by "helping each other out", all it does is just enable the underperformers to continue underperforming and good employees end up being overloaded with additional work for the sake of "helping" underperforming colleagues. When asked to hire additional headcount, this request is always rejected because the budget is always low. There's almost no diversity because the boss has internalized racism and trust issues. You also better pray you were born under lucky stars because one of the criteria for our hiring is that you need to have a good reading by the boss' fengshui master. I wish I was kidding.

Dear ex-colleague, Thank you for the feedback and appreciate the time taken to provide this review. Your inputs are much appreciated and taken into consideration as we value our colleagues and wish to provide a good working experience for colleagues current and future. We would like to share our thoughts and perspectives. MediaPlus Digital began as a two-man team and over the years we have grown to a 50+ pax company with an organizational structure in place consisting of different teams and departments for specific roles and responsibilities. We have built processes and systems around each department which has helped to give better transparency and at the same time it allows challenges to be identified, giving us the opportunity to understand each issue deeper and further improve the processes on an ongoing basis. As the company grows, new opportunities and challenges would arise. A 50+ pax company with engaged employees would benefit from better problem solving, innovative ideas and a happier working environment. However, one of the downsides of a bigger team is that decisions tend to be slower. Our perspective is that not all issues have an immediate solution and not all solutions are perfect. Sometimes it takes a couple of trial and error, and many refinements of processes until we find the solutions that best suit the current situation. The culture at MediaPlus Digital is that we value our employees and for staff who are performing well, we endeavour to show appreciation and further uprise him/she. On the other hand, we guide and help colleagues to understand their weaknesses and discuss how they can further improve. Some of the current initiatives/processes that we have in place includes the ones listed below. We: • Quarterly check-in for staff and their superiors, performance appraisal that identify colleagues strengths and challenges to better develop and guide them, and 360 peer reviews to balance inputs from bottom up /top down • Anonymous Employee Feedback Platform • Internal and external training courses for upskilling. • Access to various online training modules for our colleagues which will help in their growth • Team bonding through gatherings (e.g. BBQ, Christmas Party, CNY Dinner, and company dinner) • Long tenure awards/Performing Staff Awards Well-structured interview process To your point on Fengshui, candidates are not hired based on Fengshui. They are required to go through a stringent interview process, proving their knowledge and skillsets before we get them onboard. We do use Fengshui for office layout which is very common these days. Once again, thank you for your feedback. We wish you every success in your endeavours. Yours sincerely, The Management
