      Great people but too slow to adapt

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Mostly great people, flexible work arrangements

      Cons

      International regions are at the mercy of decisions and strategies made largely for the benefit of the US. Unfortunately, too slow to adapt to rapidly changing local markets.

      Good to build up experience but impossible to stay - a very frustrating place to work long-term

      Content developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good place to get experience for early career content professionals The content itself that you work can be very interesting and rewarding Potentiall to learn a lot about non-technical job skills, relationship management, conflict resolution, author management etc.

      Cons

      Rivals the public service for lack of meritocracy and complete non-sensical proceses. Poor remuneration and career progression (although this may have changed) Having to manage up almost all the time Management has limited understanding of how content development works and why it matters, very sales focused Poor support for lower-level staff

      CCP members playing politics (Singapore branch)

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Big company, good reputation in the industry

      Cons

      the singapore branch is infiltrated by ccp group. They hire only mainland Chinese and use their networks to get business in china. If you are non mainland, you will be driven out soon by their games. Ccp member took on sg citizenship, manager is overseas, emperor is far away. No management ability, bringing their nonsense mainland micromanagement to sg, no MBA or formal management training even. CEO in the usa pls do some firing to drain the swamp. Hire management trained people to manage!
