Micromanagement, Scared to speak up, expected to obey everything.The good thingsThe only good thing I can say is that the salary was quite high, but that’s about it. I would only recommend this place if you want to gain skills, become highly disciplined, and mentally exhausted at the same time.
The challengesWorking at Kaison was mentally exhausting despite the good salary. The official working hours were 9AM–6PM, but employees rarely got to leave on time because overtime happened almost every day, sometimes until midnight.
Even after working hours, staff still had to complete reports before being allowed to go home. The management culture was extremely controlling and full of micromanagement, where almost everything required GM approval, even leaving work. Employees constantly had to give updates every 10 minutes, creating unnecessary pressure and stress. Staff were also afraid to say “I don’t know” because they could be labelled incompetent or treated badly. The workplace felt very fear-based, where even small mistakes became a big issue. Annual leave during important occasions like Christmas was often rejected with unclear reasons, making it difficult to spend time with family. More than 8 staff resigned within 7 months, which already reflects how unhealthy the management culture was.
