NASDAQ IS ACTUALLY GREAT (except for a colleague and my manager's not fair evaluation)

Hr data analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- HMO Card on day 1 including the 2 free dependents. - Free snacks & drinks - Hybrid (twice a week in the office) - Integrated Lifestyle Allowance - Opportunity to be exposed in a global setting especially when your manager and stakeholders is based in other country. - Reimbursable transportation expense (max of 5k per month)

Cons

- Just beware of office politics. The competition is real and not every colleague wants you to succeed. In my case, a colleague of mine did everything to expose all my mistakes during my probationary period. Instead of helping me and making me aware of my weaknesses in terms of my workload, she literally documented everything (with screenshots), without me knowing it, then take these against me to damage my performance, by reporting it to my manager. When the day of my performance evaluation came, that is the time I got aware of her actions.
