    Good place to start your career, but consider moving forward when you’re ready for the next step
    The good thingsProvide good benefits like free lunch, lots of events/programs for employee to join, employee need follow strict SOP.
    The challengesMany long-serving staff tend to display a superior attitude, which make collaboration difficult. Fast pace working environment and tight project timelines, however, often get delayed due to improper planning by management. Certain colleagues could create a stressful atmosphere which affect overall team harmony and morale. The HOD will brainstorm people that company is performing well, but everyone shall get more exposure within the broader pharmaceutical industry.

    Job growth is limited
    The good things- Salary is above average. - Incredible platform for Malaysian young talents to join advanced biotech industry as the opportunity here is extremely scarce.
    The challenges- The middle and top management are mainly Indian expats. Management needs to consider developing local talent pool to increase attrition rate and ensure sustainable growth. - For R&D personnel, you may need to brace for working beyond office hours.

    Johor Bahru Johor7 to 8 years in the role, former employee
    Room for learning which comes with an acceptance of high stress levels daily.
    The good thingsAdvantages of being part of the company include having a supportive network of colleagues, access to valuable HR programs, potential for performance and annual bonuses, and a unique learning experience due to the absence of biopharmaceutical companies in Malaysia.
    The challengesChallenges faced in the company include a heavy workload with numerous responsibilities, consistent management interference in QA decisions, extended working hours while maintaining punctuality, work-related calls during off days, medical leaves, or emergencies, a culture where the loudest voice prevails, confrontational meetings, instances of gaslighting from supervisors, and a lack of acknowledgment or recognition.
