    Go ahead if you could handle plenty of stress
    The good thingsExcellent remuneration packages (petrol, toll claim, 2 month bonus every year). They encourage you to take part in Japanese language class after working hours in company, fee will be free if you pass the test (not sure they still implement or not).
    The challengesManagement expect you to complete the given tasks with minimum guidance. Bureaucratic process, a single document could take days to get all clearance as it have to approve from bottom to top management (manager, senior manager, chef of department). Initiative is a must, report your status to superior rather than they coming for you.

    Yes Man Will Success Here
    The good things2 months contractual bonus, toll claim, mileage claim, extra EPF employer contribution. You can learn to work INDEPENDENTLY.
    The challengesYou may not learn how to work correctly/effectively as there is basically no guidance from superior. Responsibility often delegated inter and intra department. You can only do as what your boss say, idea are not appreciated. You will be \"punished\" during year end performance review if you are doing better than your boss. You will be \"awarded\" during year end performance review if you are a Yes Man. Basically there is no respect on individual rights. No people development.
