Pros

Passionate People (and good-hearted / good-natured ones aplenty). Great team work and team spirit. An ambitious journey to revolutionize beauty distribution and online-and-offline selling of beauty products. Transformation in-progress. Compelling Vision. Comprehensive Strategy. A lot being done to improve all aspects of the company. It takes serious courage to undertake a Transformation of this scale.

Cons

Not for the faint-hearted, not for the "easily bruised", not for the easily discouraged. Work can get demanding and tough. It is in the midst of Transformation - many things to be improved. Work-life balance is expected to take a hit - need to sink in hard work to achieve the Vision / Mission.

Pros

- Flexible hour - complimentary good claim (lots of luxury brands to pick) - not as much office politic issue as I expected

Cons

Bad leadership- always guilt trip & gaslight employees. No sense of empathy and living with #oneteam slogan when there’s a problem but when there’s an issue, you’re by your own. No proper measurement in KPI- performance. In KPI review, you will never be able to achieve far exceeded, because you need to be “above & beyond” to pick this. When you asked the manager on how to achieve it, the respond was I don’t know either. Not sure if this a pro or con, you’ll need to do EVERYTHING by yourself. With that, you’re able to learn so much but never good at one thing. They always encourage you to speak up but when you raise a problem, you’re either being ignored or being the caused of the problem for bringing up a problem Company is not fluid enough, if you’re looking into changing a different team/ department, just forget about it. However, management is able to move you to diff rent team/ department just because of “company restructure”

Pros

- I’ve attended team building events at this company, and this one genuinely felt different in a very positive way. Unlike previous ones, this event was clearly arranged with the intention of actually doing something for the team, rather than just ticking a box or going for the cheapest possible option. - The trainers were great, engaging, and well-prepared. The activities were fun, well-paced, and thoughtfully structured so people stayed involved without feeling forced. Having nice food available throughout the day was also a big plus and made the whole experience more enjoyable.

Cons

- This stood in sharp contrast to a previous team building event that was bad from start to finish. There were no meaningful activities, the atmosphere felt uncomfortable and forced, and the overall messaging came across more like an attempt at “brainwashing” than genuine team engagement. We hated every second of that one. - This time, however, the difference in leadership and organization was very noticeable. It was clear that this team building was led with care and intention. Special credit to the CFO for leading this initiative and to some members of the T&E team (not same people as previous team building as seen) who were very hands-on and did a great job supporting the organization throughout the event.
