Pros

No more Pros at all since the new management onboard in 2018

Cons

Many oversea companies left HK, and this company can relies on Mainland China only. Just a like typical Chinese company, wont growth anymore. The good things from the companies do not exist anymore, just left old stuff and buzzwords around. The actual financial figure is not that good, just using employee bonus to fulfill shares dividends. No business planning anymore, good with strategy staff are moving away from HK right now. No insight from new management, and only know how to stick with wrong direction from the government. Going to be blocked from oversea import.

Pros

Stable. People are old and friendly. As many staffs retired every year, you may get more opportunities. Employees do not have to contribute to MPF schemes which is very rare in Hong Kong. Employees can save money as payment on shares monthly in the Credit Union through payroll deduction.

Cons

Old seafood culture. High hierarchy. Boss is always right. People with bad manner (e.g. Never response when you say "good morning" to boss directly to their faces) Extremely underpaid company. If you're not from a GT program, they don't care about your career development at all no matter how hard you work. Since covid, their main goals are focusing on how to cut costs across all departments. Salary has been frozen for 3 years even gained consistently good performance reviews in appraisals, meanwhile company notify everyone the annual profit of company has greatly increased every year. They are still using outdated technology to check invoices which required PC to downgrade to use Window XP mode. Not willing to change or invest money to improve systems. Their technology is far behind the market for 20 years plus. Roles and responsibilities are not defined clearly. People are wasting time on meaningless work process and never think a way to improve or fix it.

Pros

A lot of chance to learn telecom related knowledge. Good for thinking of retirement works. Good insurance. Only suggest for fresh grad to get job experience for 1-2 years.

Cons

Extremely underpaid company, not suggest to stay long. HR can delay salary increment without any explanation even staff has good performance and helped company gain extra profits. No salary increment for medium grade for two years for perm, meanwhile company notify everyone the annual profit of company has greatly increased every year. Also no salary increment for manager grade for three years. Single person need to works for three or more persona workload, and management cannot recruit enough manpower to cope with the large scale projects.
