    Petaling Jaya Selangor7 to 8 years in the role, former employee
    Worsened by current leadership.
    The good thingsSmall team. Friendly colleagues. In-house canteen (albeit belonging to another tenant in the building). Free parking outside office (MBPJ rarely comes to issue fines). Free basement parking for motorcycles.
    The challengesToo many very old folks milking it to fund their twilight years and lifestyle. News Editor is more of a PR exec than a real journalist. New reporters are not being trained the proper way to be good journalists. All must attend daily morning meetings. Articles must be completed and sent in a few hours after being assigned to reporter. Zero effort to get more serious with new media and online presence.

    Petaling Jaya Selangor11 to 12 years in the role, current employee
    Toxic work environment
    The good thingsThere are some genuinely good people that will try to help you but they have no power to make changes
    The challengesYears of low ad revenue and lack of funding result in an extremely outdated system. Overworked managers exploit their staff and they have no boundaries on working hours and personal time. They should invest more in human capital and training. Bring in professional talent to manage the place rather than the current old people.
