Pros
Shing is super smart open minded. He has his pulse on the zeitgeist and is the kind of person who has nothing to prove, which allows him to make informed decisions and take strategic, calculated risks with the direction of the company. It’s my first experience working for a corporation that has major verticals under its belt but operates, culturally, like a startup. I was with the company back when they owned Vegas.com bu my wish I had stayed as they moved more into AI. Only reason I left was because living in Vegas full time was difficult since I wanted to be close to my family. Shing has many personal relationships with high level execs both in Vegas and around the world, many of whom pass through for a day or two. He’s super accessible, has an amazing work ethic and notices the like so if you put your best foot forward, there’s a lot of opportunity to grow here and cultivate significant relationships. Excited to see Remark grow now that it’s found it’s footing.
Cons
Like I said, it’s a “big” company on paper but doesn’t have too many employees so you may have more responsibilities than anticipated. Nothing unmanageable though. Only reason I’m giving it 4/5 is because the hours are long. Senior management are all workhorses who expect the same level of dedication so there’s not much time for a social life if you’re trying to stand out.

Pros
- Your fellow coworkers. You will bond with them if for no other reason than shared confusion and survival. - Your location. It's a nice building with a lot of nearby food options. Great for all the late nights you'll be spending working here. - Not bad if you work remotely or in a part-time position. Full-time? Well, you'll get used to the nice window views of the office around midnight. - If you're interested in this industry, stick it out for a little while for the resume experience.
Cons
- The "office culture" is truly the strangest thing I've experience at any job previously or since. Arbitrary rules, last-minute deadlines, "gossip sessions" disguised as meetings, lack of personal boundaries, a weird push to "snitch" on coworkers for imaginary offenses, just a strange atmosphere. - You will not leave "on time." You may leave at 8PM some days. You may leave at 1AM. It is not up to you. - No path to advancement in the company, no hope to improve on the way things are. Huge turnover. No one stays long, for good reason. They get what they need and they get out.
