Pros

Fantastic staff benefits, events and activities for the staffs to participate in.

Cons

HR is not professional enough to speak up for the staff should there be any grievances. Department head dismisses staff’s feedback. A lot of politics and coverup. Promotion is possible for those who have good relationship with their boss. Taking medical leave or leaving on time means that the staff is not committed to work. Appraisal is fully dictated by the manager.

Pros

If you are looking for a job where you can crawl out of bed at 8am, turn your laptop on, say good morning and then fall asleep until noon, this is your place to work! Employees are not held accountable at all, feel free to play video games, go shopping, travel, cook, etc, during the work day. When year end bonuses come along, you can rest easy knowing that although you did not work all year, you will still get a similar raise/bonus (+/- $1000) as the best performing employees. Don't worry about reaching the goals & objectives you are assigned, they are all team-driven meaning your colleagues will do all the work and you will be rewarded for it!

Cons

If you are looking for a job where you want to excel and grow your career, stay far away from Ocean Network Express. Management treats employees like children, picking favorites and then choosing one or multiple to pick on. Favorites are allowed to do whatever they want, the pros section pretty much sums up what your life as a "favorite" will be. For the unlucky ones, be prepared to have every little mistake nitpicked, every decision questioned, every single aspect of your work critiqued and micromanaged like you are a clueless ape. Be prepared to do all the work for your team, the teams bonuses rest on your shoulders as they are playing video games. When you do all the work and save the company millions of dollars, you will be rewarded with a 3% salary increase. Far less than the inflation rate which the shipping industry is a big cause for. Just think of it, when you shop for food, gas or go holiday shopping this year, the goods you will be purchasing are at a premium because the company you work for is charging 1000% what they charged last year, yet will only offer you 3% more pay. During the job interview they will talk about "Lean & Agile" but there is endless bureaucratic red tape, the entire organization from US to Europe to Japan to Singapore has to sign off on every decision.

Pros

Company has layout a good and comprehensive staff benefit and a cafe with flow of drinks and food.

Cons

Its very individual on each department and dependent of your management and manager as written in most comments here they don't take advice , ideas, feedback even our explanation would be taken as an excuse to exit from the problem. Even you did your best and conscience are clear with your work, managers don't recognise but to put you down whenever possible even during appraisal neither are they supportive unless you are their favourite pet and without question you will get good grades even you are not hardy with work or playing games during office hrs and not even a team player it will still be a smooth sailing and peaceful live in ONE. Have a good thought after your interview, observe the management that do the interview with you whats their expectations and how do they present themselves thats a good way to evaluate if you want to join the big family.
