    Sales Role
    Aug 2025
    Kuala Lumpur City Centre Kuala Lumpur10 to 11 years in the role, current employee
    Not recommended, looks good on paper but lose your morale and soul
    The good thingsWork balance flexibility, access to client C-levels, understand business trends, knowledge driven, new topics or subject of research
    The challengesCompany has underlying issues and problems that tends to be hidden under the carpet for years. Every idea is a white elephant and exaggerated to look great in optics. No career progression and seems to feel regress operationally. Your colleagues might stay for a short stint and their replacement might take months or never.

    Purposeful
    The good thingsHad a birds-eye view of how projects are started. Really expected to self-learn. Independent learning is seen as an asset. Really mature and friendly work environment. Worked under a really meaningful and good boss. (BU depended)
    The challengesIndependent learning has its limits. Depending on the BU be prepared to work extra hard. Maybe look towards forming a structured graduate programme. Would do well to attract young talent in the future.

    Associate Consultant
    The good thingsFlexible working hours, and that's about it.
    The challengesTraining exist but with LOW VALUE ADDED content, lack of industry exposure despite having to write about the industry. Cold callings to get market information-which is usually confidential anyway.

    A disorganised MNC badly managed
    The good thingsGood exposure to management consulting, opportunities to be placed abroad for assignments within APAC
    The challengesWins consulting projects by slashing prices to beat bigger consulting firms, ends up straining consultants to work on too many projects simultaneously. Despite being in market research for decades, does not subscribe to any database.

    Flexible Fun Workplace
    The good thingsOn top of the flexi working hours, we also were given to work from home.
    The challengesWorking within APAC and South Asia countries, different time zone is making the communication stumble in between (at certain point of time), each country have their own compliance and regulations. However these challenges keep me grow faster.

    Not very impressive MNC
    The good thingsReceived good guidance from my reporting manager which allowed me to receive more challenging tasks.
    The challengesManagement should be more transparent in decision making. Also need to work on their company's culture and work ethics. Understand that some of the leadership level directors do not have much ethics in running the business.

    Strategic Account Manager

    1 to 2 years in the role, current employee
    Worst career choice ever!
    The good thingsThe people, the team I'm working with are a bunch of awesome people. The supervisor managing the team is terrible though. He likes to micro manage, and most of the time, not helping with the team at all. I believe if they had hired a local to manage the team, it would be a totally different story altogether.
    The challengesWorking in sales, I do understand that our numbers are very important. But the management is not doing anything to help us with it. We had to fight for accounts from our other offices across APAC, which I find very counter productive. We are also treated like the bottom barrel sales people by the other sales people from our other APAC offices, scraping on bad accounts.
