Hypocritcal company - very hong kong local style

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee benefits e.g. housing Banking activities fees are waived

Cons

You won't get anywhere unless you take advantage of boss's biased attitudes. When upper management want to promote expansion to China. The boss will do all kind of things to pretend they are being really nice to them. While at the same time won't even speak to you in the same lift. Shift responsibilities to others is what I learn here in order to survive.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Culture - Gives a sense of confidence to the associates when they feel associated to such a huge brand name. - Good work-life balance - Overall decent environment to work in

Cons

- HR not so efficient and responsive. - Top management not too clear about the future plans their roles and responsibilities. - Appraisal system not taken seriously. - Some sort of bias treatment from management. - Frequent changes in organization structure, leaving a lot of uncertainty among associates. - Facilities given but you have to ask for (kind of request for it) and that too should undergo a lot of approvals.
