Employees at Malaysiakini appreciate the multiracial workforce, flexible working hours, and opportunities to network with industry professionals. They also value the teamwork environment, where seniors are willing to teach and guide new employees, and the work-life balance offered by the company.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as facing questions from acquaintances about Malaysiakini's news coverage, concerns about the long-term future of the company, and a need for improved benefits. Additionally, there were some issues with management and leadership, including the CEO's communication style and lack of appreciation for good work. Office politics were also mentioned, where employees may need to engage in drama or step on others to get ahead. Finally, reviewers noted a lack of clear instructions during the onboarding process, requiring new employees to take the initiative to learn their roles.
