    Only time will tell if my journey with ONE is a great one. But for now, I have to say it has been a bag of mixed emotions which honestly I am grateful for the opportunity to be working for. Looking forward to the challenges & greater days ahead.
    The good thingsThough this container shipping company is only 5yrs old, it is tagged with its legacy companies whom have been in the business for over 30yrs. The company's vision & values also resonates well with the business models that embraces opportunities and purposes in every possible way. Listed below are the other goods things in my perspectives.

    The challengesLet's be honest here, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. Challenges are everywhere, even more so when there's a disruption with the market trend. It is how every employee overcomes such challenges that makes the company resilient, stable & eventually a great place to work. There's always a sensible solution to every challenge.

    ONE is an exceptional place to work, offering challenging opportunities for professional growth and development.
    The good thingsThe constant stream of challenging projects that come our way. Each day presents new hurdles to overcome, pushing me to expand my skill set and knowledge base. The collaborative atmosphere fosters innovation, and I've had the privilege of working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry. Moreover, the company's commitment to professional development is truly commendable. Whether it's through mentorship programs, training sessions, or access to cutting-edge tools, ONE ensures that employees have the resources they need to thrive and succeed.
    The challengesProject workload can be daunting, time management is crucial - most things are important and urgent. Management of stakeholders is a necessary skillset to ensure your time here is smooth. Work culture can take some time to adapt as it is a primarily-Japanese company.

    Stable Compang but Work Culture Needs Further Improvement
    The good thingsGood office location and company allows its staff to work from home occasionally.

    Good IT System and Office Hardware but Some Important Ingredients and "Software"Are Missing
    The good thingsGood IT system and office software. However, some important ingredients and office "software" are missing. Company is capitalising on Covid-19 situation and maximising load factor and this may cause the recent ONE APUS and ONE AQUILA ship accidents.

    Career advancement opportunity is very scarce
    The good thingsNew Office and environment is good.
    The challengesSmooth talk is very crucial in this office. Workers must smooth talk to their middle management. Otherwise you will be assigned to many manual and meaningless task. Staff need to pretend to be busy during office hour and if possible try to stay late in the office even though you have not much work to do. Career advancement opportunities are very scarce because this origination prefers to hire outsiders to be your supervisors instead of grooming their own staff for promotion.
