Pros

Co workers and low level managers are mostly chill and supportive. Somewhat flexible work schedule, pay and benefits are decent (but not enough to stay long). If you are interested in tech and e-commerce this place is a definite stepping stone for your career. A lot of things to learn and absorb.

Cons

Once you are adjusted to your daily routine, you start to question why are you doing your job and why you should be caring. What are the incentives of giving your 110%? Few things the upper management seems to do well is to publicly criticize a certain category or a team which indirectly sends a message to everyone else to not be a failure like them- Typical Asian style negative reinforcement. Giving 40 dollar gift cards for well-performing categories are the only motivation the management provides, which is a lackluster effort in presenting a vision and creating a sense of purpose - especially when Amazon is engulfing the market share and everyone is losing morale. People tend to work harder with less pay if their effort and accomplishment are visualized to the public, and it starts with a presenting a vision that resonates with the PM team. This is the most fundamental cause of the ever-revolving exit door. People will get paid more at other places with equal amount of effort and skill set, so why should people stay here? Leaders were non-existent here and, naturally, many PMs will do their due diligence but never go above and beyond.

Pros

Great learning opportunities with exposure to multiple aspects of the business. Fast-paced environment that encourages continuous growth and adaptability. Clear team structure and well-defined responsibilities, allowing employees to stay focused and execute efficiently. Plenty of opportunities to take ownership of projects and make a meaningful impact. Collaborative teams and strong cross-functional communication.

Cons

As a global company with a diverse workforce, communication styles can vary across teams. In some situations, discussions may take place in languages other than English, which can occasionally create challenges for employees who are not fluent in those languages.
