    Star Media Group Berhad is Malaysia’s leading integrated and innovative media group. SMG began as a single-product company, which has progressively grown into a multi-channel media group, with strong presence in a diverse range of businesses - Print, Digital, Radio, and Events & Exhibitions. It is evident to us, in an era of Internet of Things, that there is a crucial need to accommodate and assimilate digital tools and ideas. And that we did, as we continue to express our unwavering commitment to see the intertwining of our legacy with digitized trends across all our platforms.

    What’s it like working at Star Media Group?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Star Media Group appreciate the comprehensive benefits package, including medical benefits and contractual bonuses, as well as the friendly and supportive colleagues who create a close-knit environment within departments. The company provides excellent learning opportunities through training programmes, conferences, and on-the-job experience, particularly for junior staff and fresh graduates. The work environment is generally positive, clean, and exciting for those interested in media, with varied and challenging work that offers something new every day.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as management occasionally lacking clear direction and strategic vision during times of change. The workload can be heavy with tight deadlines and increasing demands, which may affect work-life balance. Some employees have noted that responsibilities can be shifted between teams, with accountability sometimes unclear. Salary levels may be lower than expected with limited opportunities for raises, and cross-departmental collaboration can be challenging as departments sometimes operate independently. The company's traditional culture with many long-serving employees can affect the pace of adaptation to new digital technologies.
