On the portal business, the company has a team of 54, including portal
producers to designers and programmers, marketing, ecommerce, customer
service, finance and senior management.
What are the responsibilities of hongkong.com's marketing staff?

itself part of the service industry, providing good customer service and
experience for each visit is considered vital.

between departments - the online world is different. As the driver of a
project/product, the marketing staff is accountable to each and every
stage of development regardless of their primary scope of
responsibility.

go through a meet-the-team programme, which is a casual exchange between
the candidates and key staff.

Certainly. Not only that, the company practices country exchange
programmes to allow staff to gain exposure in other markets. This
motivates staff and helps them incorporate the best of their overseas
learning here.
What are the perks of working for hongkong.com?
Pretty standard with stock options. The difference lies in the positive
working environment, which places a strong emphasis on team spirit.
