    Finance Role
    Mar 2026
    Bukit Raja Selangor3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    Toxic manager in the AP team, with noticeable favoritism and biased treatment among employees
    The good thingsFlexible working hours, annual leaves, PH falls on weekend earned half day of replacement leave, nice colleagues
    The challengesNo bonus for the past three years. Toxic management. Favoritism and office politics are common. Feedback is often taken personally instead of professionally. Salaries are below market rate. Management is not willing to offer higher pay to hire the right people, and internal promotions come with very small increments. Strong politics between departments, especially at senior management level.

    There was a right company to amass experience within field of expertise.
    The good things-exposure to overseas purchase and project procurement. -flexible working hours post pandemic -Bonus payout not bad during that period
    The challenges-Superior/HOD is inertia and lacking visionary to set the direction and path of the department -Always pass the buck to subordinates whereas superior is the one free like a bird and not take up any responsibilities -hardly no contribution to the department performance

    The Internship
    The good thingsComing into this position, I felt that I had no idea where my career was going and I lacked confidence about what I could do and what I am really good at. My internship has definitely given me a better understanding of my skill set and where my career may take me, but most importantly, I’ve come to learn that I am not alone. This job has taught me that almost everybody is in my same position. Very few college students know what they want to do, and it is something that is simply not worth worrying about. Thanks to my I know that if I continue to work hard things will fall into place.
    The challengesThis being my first position in an office atmosphere, I didn’t know exactly what to expect. The environment here at Experience is quite relaxed, yet it taught me how to behave in the workplace. Simply working in the office and getting used to everything here has definitely prepared me for whatever my next position may be. Just observing the everyday events has taught me more about teamwork, and how people can come together to get things done. Although sometimes I have to remind myself to use my inside voice, I feel I’ve adapted to the office life relatively well.
