    Best second chance after rejoining
    The good thingsRe-joined Axiata in Dec 2020, after a hiatus of almost 6 years from 1st stint. Great bonding with colleagues within Corp Centre and OpCos. Bosses are fair towards staff and everyone is caring towards one another, similar to 1st stint. Opportunities to take different type of roles are abundant i.e I have to learn to project manage while retaining my hat as tax expert in cross discipline projects and M&A exercise. Feel fulfilled as I am able to undertake initiatives that I initially unable to do during 1st stint due to various challenges.
    The challengesEach department/OpCo would have different culture or customs that one must understand and learn, emphasis on rules & procedures that can be daunting to new staff. Not a complaint, however additional monthly Boost credits would nice!
