Chaotic Tokopedia integration, lack of leadership
Joining TTS after Tokopedia integration and handling both TTS and Tokopedia platform as PM. Integration is pretty much one sided and instructions are clear. Just follow whatever TTS is currently doing and enable seller / buyer from Toko to use it. In terms of features, most of Tokopedia exclusive features are being deprecated despite its more superior than TTS.
In TTS, no vision or guidance from leadership. Just need to follow whatever provided by Shopee and it’s all good. Leadership prefer employee that can speak mandarin, they will listen to they more (even though they are more stupid sometimes) and they will be safe from getting M- in performance appraisal.
Your stakeholders also changed often since there will be a restructuring few times within the same quarter and mostly they cannot speak english. Documentations are scattered and figma never get updated with latest version.
Pros•Meet expectation can get bonus 3x
•Friendly colleagues and they willing to help
Cons•Promotion is non existent. Make sure your offer is good
•Changes of direction from leadership within days
•They prefer mainland ppl or someone that can speak mandarin
