1. The boss, managers, and colleagues are all young. There is no rigid hierarchy, and the atmosphere at work is great. You can even prank the managers and boss on their birthdays.
2. Good benefits, including an overseas employee trip and year-end banquet every year.
3. The company is in the bustling East District, with convenient transportation. You can head straight to a bar after work on Fridays.
4. Managers organize dinners and karaoke outings from time to time, and the boss often treats everyone as well.
5. The office is beautiful and spacious, and the management style is very American.
6. During breaks, you can bring out the performance board and play Switch. It’s awesome.
I am a former employee, and I would like to say a few things about the shortcomings mentioned by others.
You clock in when you arrive but do not clock out when you leave. Basically, this is convenient for everyone because we often go out for meetings. If you have a meeting in another city, or if a meeting runs until six or seven, you can go straight home without having to return to the office.
However, if you are an employee whose work often cannot be completed before the end of the workday, then I have nothing to say if you consider this a disadvantage. The company indeed does not have what is commonly called an overtime system. Whether you are in sales or a back-office role, you may have to work overtime because of proposals, project closures, or other factors. However, we all received the bonuses we were entitled to. So you might consider why some people care so much about clocking out for overtime while others do not. The company never mentioned having an overtime system during the initial recruitment process.
Also, speaking as a former employee who has interviewed with many other agencies in the same industry, this is a low-margin industry, and anyone who has worked at Trik knows that the company’s profits are not high at all. We all know the service fees and bonus percentages. Given these salary conditions, with benefits including an overseas employee-trip subsidy, a year-end banquet, and group dinners, and with the company not placing much emphasis on hierarchy, isn’t that good enough?
As for training, there is comprehensive training during the first month after joining. Whenever Google or Facebook announces a course, employees are also assigned to attend from time to time. The company has even invited well-known GA instructors from the industry to teach courses worth hundreds of thousands. The CEO is also a Google-certified instructor, and you can ask questions whenever you have them. Is it that the company has not provided training, or that your attitude toward proactively learning is not sufficient? If you wanted more training, did you ever raise this with the company?
When I was still employed, a colleague who joined at the same time was already earning nearly 100,000 a month, and perhaps now earns over 100,000. When complaining that the company offers no room for development, have you considered whether the issue might be your own level of effort and abilities?
