    Great place to learn
    The good thingsMedia Prima is a leading media company in Malaysia. Working with them as an intern has allowed me to learn many about journalism and the nature of the media. It is a great place to expand your knowledge with a hands-on/practical task.
    The challengesThe only disadvantage of working with Media Prima is the long working hours and the salary as an intern was too low. The amount of work and effort delivered did not compensate for my benefit.

    Corporate communication manager
    Sep 2019
    3 to 4 years in the role, current employee
    Enjoyable work experience despite being in a sunset industry
    The good thingsThe camaraderie between staff is excellent; after-office activities are plentiful (sports, events) and plenty of travelling opportunities. Also, ample opportunities to learn and relearn new skills and knowledge across different media platforms and the satisfaction of a job well done is simply priceless.
    The challengesThe traditional media industry's business model of purely relying on advertising revenue is crumbling and the top management seems to be caught off-guard with this new reality, scrambling with one new turnaround plan after another, with no real tangible benefit thus far. This has resulted in some haphazard and sometimes costly ventures that affected the staff morale and their willingness to push beyond that which is required. Despite the dire need for change, it has remained status quo in here for far too long.
