    Selangor1 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Great Workplace for Fresh Graduates (Sales) & those who prefer stable-paced jobs
    The good thingsGood employee benefits (13.5-month)
    The challenges- Slow career advancement, and the indicators for promotion are vague to non-existent - Stable-paced and strict adherence to compliance, so will need to get multiple approvals/different departments' review before getting things done - Low in task ownership/ accountability amongst the employees (tend to wash hands off tasks) - Still in the phase of transition to better acceptance towards new ideas - Poor employee engagement (no team building for all the employees) - No system in place to ensure employee's feedback/ grievance being heard of (most of the time going to direct manager, but there is no cross-level feedback)

    Definitely a good company if u want to enhance in pharmaceutical industry
    The good thingsMelaka Manager very good. Always empower instead of criticize. Product training very intensive but helpful during working on field talking with Drs. Nice and helpful colleague. Manager work with reps at least once per week. Meal allowance daily, car interest, road tax and insurance and monthly maintenance are taken care of. Cycle meeting is stressful as u are required to outperform, role play, presentation and etc
    The challengesVery intensive and high stress level.
