Pros

Great name on CV provided you can live with the trauma of having worked here Healthcare Gympass Free food

Cons

No cross collaboration between teams with constant “them and us” attitude. Everyone is paranoid. Covering one’s own back and snakey behaviour seems to be the number one priority with constant finger pointing / blame games. Chinese management says “jump” you ask “how high?” as you are beholden to wild ideas and pipeline dreams that often don’t make sense with unrealistic timeframes. Massively high turnover within the main business. People disappear without a trace and no real explanation as to why. Management are detached from the reality of their team’s mood. “All I see are smiles” - sure, because everyone is scared of you and nobody is brave enough to risk their job to tell the truth - we are all exhausted and miserable.

Pros

I was working from home at the time, so my experience was different. I was extremely lucky to have outstanding team leaders and colleagues. I met real precious people, and my team leader is a star. The people I worked with were very supportive. During COVID, the company provided everything we needed from chair to monitor, desk etc. As far as I am concerned, the company kept its word with me. Other pros include a retirement plan, team building, wellbeing, mental health awareness and service, inclusivity education, always learning something new through challenges, company values, and the possibility of volunteering.

Cons

Toxic and draining job over time, in a sneaky way; not having any energy left outside work to do anything else was disheartening, unrealistic targets; the content becomes your daily reality. It changes your view of our society; it's both interesting and depressing if you don't remind yourself that it does not reflect the whole world. It's the noise, the constant images, and the speed at which we have to moderate. It's also hearing noise all day. In some projects, it felt like a mind factory; having to moderate so many videos in such a short time was bad for the head, for the eyes, for the ears, and for the brain. Mind your posture as well; make sure you have breaks and exercise! The constant policy updates that don't always make sense, the lack of alignment and communication. Having said all that, I worked for much worse companies in the past, and it's probably OK for someone young who has a plan for the future. For the short term only, unless you're lucky enough to be able to progress within the company.

Pros

The view from the office and free lunch

Cons

Backstabbing, Toxic and awful for work-life balance. Zero diversity moving to 5 days a week in the office because HQ doesn't trust people, is drastically cutting back staff and doesn't train or develop support functions, just expect you to work 24/7 and weekends, late night calls. Make changes to bonus and incentive schemes to only suit the business making more money and don't care at all for employees.
