Pros
I recognise everyone’s experience may differ by teams and location, but my personal journey at Agoda in Bangkok has been truly amazing. I’ve been fortunate to have had amazing managers and leadership who have invested their time and energy into my career development, allowing me to take on projects and teams outside my usual scope of work. There’s plenty of fun initiatives organised by the teams in Bangkok, which I find very useful as an expat here to connect with other colleagues. The work environment is flat, our senior leadership team (or at least within our department) has an open-door policy, and there’s a lot of hard-working talented folks that I’ve enjoyed working with.
Cons
Priorities changes quickly at Agoda, which either means you’re presented with new opportunities / challenges, though for some the pace might be too quick for them to adapt. The company is growing quickly, but some “basics” can get quite messy eg some colleagues uses slack, some uses teams, some prefers email. Some teams uses google drive, some uses sharepoint - so it takes time to figure out where information is.
