    goes beyond the stars
    The good thingsProbably the best pharmaceutical company to work with in Malaysia. I am grateful that I joined the right company. The company culture is so positive, caring, and so many people have gone out of their way to help me. The company truly cares about your career and where you want to go. The managers have so many conversations with you about what motivates you to help you achieve your goals. They give an option to leave feedback and the feedback is actually read and action is taken. We have company happy hours once a month and our holiday parties are OUTSTANDING. Every year the company gives everyone a really nice gift for the holidays.
    The challengesI feel valued, heard, and my work means something when I work here.

    laid back and relax pharma company
    The good thingswork life balance. when i joined the company, many people told me that working in pharmaceutical sales will be stressful. it turned out totally different, the work here is minimal and we don't many things that other mnc pharmaceutical company did. it is fairly relax and good support from team members.
    The challengeslack of experience superior, management here mainly is promoted internally and they joined the company as their first job after leaving university. only worried that i am unable to adapt to other company if i quit this company. but high chance that i will get internal promotion.

    good working environment
    The good thingsGood salary, higher compared to other pharma company. Family-like working culture that boss accept your feedback. Flexible working hours with work-life balance. Job is not that taxing.
    The challengesWe hardly do events/talk here compared to the big boys like MSD, Pfizer or Novartis as boss don't really want to spend. No role play as no clear direction from marketing side. relax and chill culture.

    good mnc pharmaceutical company
    The good thingsSun provide and give priority for internal staff on career development whenever there are various job openings. Promotion and increment is frequent. Sun has great benefits (with attractive monthly allowances) and they appreciate and retain good staff. If an employee has resigned from Sun, this company promotes opportunity whenever you want to come back to work which not many company will do. The working colleagues are nice, helpful and friendly. The management as well are giving a lot of attention to the staffs needs. Annually the company held a Sales Meeting at 5 star hotel where all the staff in Malaysia was gathered at one place to honour their establishment in sales for the past one year.
    The challengesNo doubt in Sun, we are super NOT busy, there's noting much to do. We sell established brands that we hardly need to push as the sales comes in by itself. A rare work-life balance company that you can found this days. so no challenges here.
