Cons
This company lacks stability and transparency. Their business strategy is always changing, and the turnover rate is so high that they could win awards for it. KPIs are also constantly changing, becoming more extreme and unrealistic each time. The management is incompetent. Most of them have limited understanding of the local market, and some even lack knowledge about the media industry as a whole. What’s baffling is their refusal to learn and adapt. They also evade responsibility and rely on local staff for suggestions and feedback, only to dismiss the advice and belittle employees in the process. Career growth is non-existent here. The employees who put in the work and deliver results are never recognised; instead, they face constant demeaning from HQ, and some have even been unjustly let go without valid reasons. Fresh grads who have proven their worth are still treated as inexperienced, too, and HQ never fails to remind you of it. The new local hires will also leave you wondering how they even got the job. Like the people who employed them, they possess a ‘pick-me’, cocky and self-centred attitude. They also lack the required experience and qualifications for their job titles, yet they behave like know-it-alls, unnecessarily asserting dominance over others, which is just ironic. One of them also behaves inappropriately and makes perverted comments, causing discomfort among female colleagues. And if you thought that the company’s benefits would redeem them, you are sorely mistaken. This company doesn’t provide a 13th-month bonus and offers a mere 12 days of annual leave. You can’t claim cab fares, too, which is stingy considering the frequent travel needed for media events or client meetings. There is no flexible work schedule. This company loves micromanaging employees so much that they expect staff to clock in and out when they arrive and leave. They even threatened disciplinary action to those who don’t. WFH was implemented only recently but it’s still on a “trial basis”, so this 1 day of remote working can be taken away from employees at any time. They also forbid staff to set their work status to “Do Not Disturb” when they’re on leave/sick, but the higher ups in HK are allowed to do so – double standards much?
