    Internship feat. Covid-19
    The good thingsSupportive and cheerful intern-mates & colleagues. Conducive & cozy office environment. Challenging & meaningful tasks given to interns every week. Get opportunity to learn a lot of stuffs related to Takaful business within internship period.
    The challengesDuring MCO of Covid-19, not every staff/intern has chances to work-from-home due to lack of office laptops. Plus, the company usually pay allowance quite late to interns but you’ll still receive as long as you follow-up with the HR & Finance.
