    Apr 2017
    Less than 1 year in the role, current employee
    A good management trainee programme
    The good thingsI am lucky to be employed under their management trainee programme. It is a 3-years programme where I'll be rotated to another department once throughout the programme. The programme also accompanied by multiple trainings that not only developed your working skills but also personal and leadership skills as you are expexted to become a manager at the end of the programme.
    The challengesIn term of payment, I received an above average for a fresh graduate. Hence, the company has a high expectation for the trainee. However, the expectation can be met if the you are willing to learn and take initiative to improve yourself

    3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    Good benefits
    The good thingsThis is a company to go for if you're looking for awesome benefits. Depending on who's leading the management, when i was there under Tony she was wonderful at going down to listen to the employees feedback. Everything moves fast here so its a good place to learn. Not too bad for 'family people' too.
    The challengesI think they need a better loyalty plan to keep the top management and minus ones. these team changes too often sometimes as often as twice a year making work progress slower and people progress worst,
