The company is particularly strong in providing training and development opportunities, with certification programmes and continuous learning experiences. Employees appreciate the good work-life balance with special leave provisions and social activities, as well as the diverse learning environment that provides exposure to various industries and stakeholders.

    Not all that shines is a diamond or indah Khabar dari rupa
    The good thingsMeeting with stakeholders, industry players
    The challengesInternal politics, favoritism, low or zero career progression. Toxic, gaslighting, manipulative boss who sabotages career. No actions & accountability to protect employee who reported. Unclear & continuously changing instructions. Your performance rating is based on your leader's opinion & not based on real performance evaluation. Too much gossips, rumors & office politics - not a good place in the long run. Short sighted management & leadership - doesn't value long term talent retention

    Kuala LumpurLess than 1 year in the role, current employee
    Overall, so far so good
    The good things- Pretty much you will learn new things on day to day basis. - Benefits, claims, healthcare, insurance and dental are top notch. Flexi working hours, WFH is possible depending on your nature of work and your line manager obviously. - Birthday and vitality leave provided. - Plenty of room for career development and self improvement in terms of training, guidance by your senior/colleagues etc.
    The challenges- Your career development depends on who is your boss and which department you are working. - Salary wise I would say average. Could be better of course. - Some department/unit are busy than others. Freedom of implementing your ideas are pretty limited, there are some level of micro-managing as well. - Some employees could not really perform at work because of their hands are tied and shackled.
