    Kuala Lumpur Sentral Kuala LumpurLess than 1 year in the role
    A place where career growth, continuous learning and good work life balance!
    The good thingsGreat people and environment to work in with a great office in KL Sentral. Open office concept and everyone is approachable and friendly. Personal development highly encouraged and supported. Nice pantry with snacks provided.
    The challengesRather positive as the being in a very ambitious company workload can be high but still manageable. The positive side is that the learning opportunity is extremely high in the IT Department or the Digital office.

    Bad exposure and experience
    The good thingsThe benefits are good, but my supervisor wasn't the best when it came to guiding as I am a fresh graduate who needed guidance. I chose this path as I am open into venturing other opportunities in other industries however, I was disappointed with the exposure that I was given.
    The challengesManulife is challenging itself as it is a Finance industry. However, please do not go under the HR Department where it handles general HR work. It is not the best exposure to get, if you are a fresh graduate like me.

    The good thingsTrying to help the orphans and helping the society in large, to be able to provide assistance where necessary in work and also give detailed information's so as to assistant client or customers in areas they are not clear about.

    The challengesAll challenges faced was to make me more better and focused in my ambition, it wasn't an easy one but with the admonishment of my supervisors and senior colleagues at work I was able to keep to my duties and never relent in fulfilling my assignment. At a point I tell my self giving up on hope its never a sail to the top but striving and being determined will help in achieving the top.
