    Apr 2019
    3 to 4 years in the role, current employee
    Good benefit, work life balance
    The good thingsBeing a regulatory external auditor, SC gives me good insight on application and enforcement of our guidelines. Good work life balance, good for family oriented person. Good benefit medical, dental, loan interest subsidy (vehicle & mortgage). Bosses are generally good but some are intellectually challenged and incompetent.
    The challengesDisconnected with industry, some policies and work are syok sendiri for the bosses to please the Chariman, salary cannot match industry. high turnover as the industry is offering more money. Increment average 3-5%. If you are trying to grow your career from inside as fresh grad, you will lose out to your friends outside in the capital market industry. Medical used to be unlimited for new hires maybe not so.

    Senior manager
    Jul 2015
    9 to 10 years in the role, former employee
    10 years experience working at Malaysia's capital market regulator
    The good thingsThe room for professional growth is enormous at the SC. You learn alot about the capital market industry and can expand your professional network. The SC also has very high work ethics and standard. Expectations from your managers and management is also very high, which helps develop you faster. They have good medical benefits, loans and provide on-site creche and nursing room.
    The challengesThe rate of career progression needs to be improved. The SC is a very hierarchical organisation with big power gap. It can take up to 4 years for an executive to move up to the next level. Decision-making can be slow too. While they offer staggered working hours, they do not offer flexible working arrangements to meet millennials and working mothers' needs. Working hours can be long.

    Great Experience With Good Employer
    The good thingsGood career opportunity awaits those who are competitive and work hard. Nice and intelligent building add up to the good office ambience. Its facilities are good be it the gymnasium or auditorium. Parking are free and its location makes travelling to office a nice experience. SC has very good salary and benefit in-kind packages.
    The challengesTo join the SC as workforce is not easy unless you know someone powerful inside. You must pass several tests and interviews before you are welcome into the family. Unless you are SC's scholar or really good, fresh graduates find it difficult to join the SC. You must be able to speak English fluently and understand your job scope well.
