Pros

- Highend Salary than other companies in Thailand - Located in central Bangkok - Health Insurance and Allowances (Level Based)

Cons

Nothing good in this company besides salary - Highly coupled and unnecessarily complex architecture built around a very specific ecommerce platform - Badly designed legacy systems with too many problems. - A fake agile company. Calls itself as an agile but everything is done in waterfall style. - Poor Employee rentention rate. Too many people changing and quiting making the work very difficult. - Uses Continuous Integration, Continous Deployment (CI/CD) just for the sake of name. Rather than automated process, too many manual processes are kept in place. - All deployments can be done only at ​night - Many different projects going at the same time . Does not have proper focus - Too many external vendors rather than hiring own developers. - CTO and upper management with the old tech mindset and top level management made of people who previously worked together. Nepotism rather than hiring talented people. - Zero work life balance. - Very unmanaged process of giving work to developers. - Does not have tech driven culture. You will be asked to cut corners with bad tech practices for the sake of completing features or solving some bugs. - You will not learn any new tech, you will just be maintaining legacy system

Pros

I learned a ton while working here, especially when it came to handling high-traffic websites. It was definitely challenging, but that’s where the growth came from. If you’re looking to level up your skills in a real-world setting, there were plenty of opportunities to do just that.

Cons

That said, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Back in 2020, the tech we were using felt a bit outdated, and it caused some frustration among the team. There was also a lot of uncertainty and not much transparency, which made it tough to know what was going on. Plus, the internal politics sometimes got in the way of getting things done. Hopefully, things have changed for the better since then.

Pros

Very big organisation with humongous resources at disposal. I had the privilege to work on databases scaled upto TBs and PBs. Great place for exponential learning given the business size.

Cons

Very uncertain work environment with frequent layoffs.
