Pros
  • Flexible work environment
  • Good work-life balance
  • Recent Xbox One and PS4 raffles cheered up the environment a bit
Cons
  • Rarely feel the excitement working here.
  • Executives feel far and distant and irrelevant to our day-to-day work (maybe this is a pro?).
  • We feel we are irrelevant to the executives the same way.
  • Salary raise and bonus? Rarely happen. Good luck! They feel like a lottery rather than something we work hard for and achieve.
Advice to Management

We've got to feel relevant and perhaps some excitement. Tiny gestures like cookie and tea occasionally can spice up the workplace a little bit, but we aren't feeling any excitement at this moment.
