Pros

1. commission scheme is better than page/ hays and rw 2. people are not competitive, not a lot of internal conflicts

Cons

1. they asked people to fill in peakon survery but they never change 2. the management team in hk talks louder than action. they dont take accountability at all- there was someone from management team who didnt bill enough to cover her costs for a few years but was promoted in 2025; but there were consultants who hit their targets and couldnt get promoted, and they claimed its becuase of poor kpi!!! sales is all about billing ok!? this is very demotivating 3. they change policies all the time, including flexi hours, wfh policy, or commission etc; the interesting thing is that there are managers who dont do KPIs or WFH without hitting their target 4. people have been logging fake KPIs and management dont care as long as they get KPIs done 5. the culture is very toxic right now 6. turnover rate is very high and there is no good biller left anymore in the company. no one could learn from and a lot of managers couldnt even bill on their own what im saying is 100% real

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
