    Shah Alam Selangor3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    I enjoy the positive work culture and team environment, despite a layered & inefficient structure.
    The good thingsI enjoy the working environment and friends, lots of event for employee engagement.
    The challengesThe organization has too many hierarchical layers, then HOD/managers mainly pass down info instead of taking ownership. Executives end up handling most of the actual work. Also, workload not tally with the salary compensation.

    Shah Alam Selangorformer employee
    The other reviews are coming from people who never work in another company
    The good thingsSurrounded by nature, friendly colleagues, very good work life balance
    The challengesJob duties exceed the responsibilities associated with your job title and level of seniority compared to other companies. Salary and compensation are subpar for the workload. Promises of promotions and career advancement are rarely fulfilled, leading to disgruntled senior colleagues. Employee benefits are misrepresented or come with significant caveats and restrictions. Senior colleagues often lack up-to-date technical skills despite their domain-specific knowledge. Imagine having job title as senior cleaner but cannot clean and dont even know how to use a mop.
