Brutal place to work

Pros

Not a ton of good things to say, the pay was decent but that was about it. Would not recommend this as a first job out of school

Cons

Really did not enjoy working here, not a fan of the work environment and the work itself is pretty mind-numbing. Stay away

Pros

- Growing company in a growing industry - company is doubling in size every couple of years, so plenty of advancement opportunities - Steep learning curve. Potential to receive responsibilities essentially as soon as you prove yourself capable. Running projects, working with clients, negotiating, training/coaching, managing people, running teams, pitching clients, etc. all within the first 2-3 years if you're doing well. For this reason, good place to start a career and start building a skillset - Culture of extremely driven, social people means the day to day is fast-paced and fun. Definitely hire young which means there's a great energy & potential everywhere but the obvious drawback is having fewer people with a wealth of external experience to draw on. - Pretty sizeable and regular raises for good performers, performance-based bonuses - Culture of constant improvement for each person and for the firm. Firm is big on feedback and pretty regularly works to action on feedback from its people. In my 5 years, have seen improvements to comp model, career track, benefits (401k/healthcare/lunch program), organizational model, etc.

Cons

- Your experience can definitely be a product of your Manager & team situation. I'm surprised to see some of the comments on here about work-life balance, no lunch breaks, etc. as that hasn't been my experience and isn't encouraged. That said, different teams can certainly have different norms and expectations - Employee youth is in many ways a great thing (high energy, enthusiasm, openness to trying new ways of doing things, etc.). On the flip side, it can lead to a lack of experienced people managers or external perspectives to draw on - High growth means there will be times throughout the year (pre-new hires) that your team can feel understaffed

Great, but be prepared to get bored quick

Pros

This was my first job at Hong Kong, the team was brilliant and the work was fast-paced. I felt very included in the company's culture. Pay was okay.

Cons

The bad parts about the job was that that it is very easy to get bored there. The type of work you do is very similar, and after sometime you just become a professional networker on linkedin.
