    Perai Penang9 to 10 years in the role, current employee
    Can try..............................
    The good things1. The team members are supportive, even the staff.
    The challengesLack of proper planning and unclear direction from top management. Assignment of unnecessary workloads without clear purpose, seemingly just to occupy employees. Absence of structured systems and processes within management. Decisions and judgments by top management are often influenced by favoritism rather than merit. Employees placed in unfavorable roles or situations are unfairly labeled and carry that stigma indefinitely. Compensation is below market standards — with low pay and bonuses. Even mid-level engineers are paid less than fresh graduates entering the market today. Employees are often left to handle issues alone, even when they involve interdepartmental responsibilities. A culture where individuals prioritize only their own interests ("periuk nasi") instead of working together towards collective success.
