    Kuala Lumpur9 to 10 years in the role, current employee
    Old School Working Culture
    The good thingsGood thing about working here is work life balance and job stability.
    The challengesBureaucratic management style and promotion is very slow. Also, a lot of administration works that required it to be manually done and management not willing to invest on good system for digitalization and automation. Can't see much career advancement here and the working culture here is quite old school. Mostly, the stress comes from bosses as they expect you to perform excellently with minimal resources.

    Wangsa Maju Kuala LumpurLess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    Hierarchical Working Environment
    The good thingsThe bonus and staff benefits. 1-month annual leaves but very difficult to find a free period to clear it. Facilities and outsourced training. Strong documentation and proper filing.
    The challengesWhile some are happy with the flexible working hours, I find that as a junior lecturer, this is uninspired and isolated. Many students, hence, the university doesn't really encourage you to do research and they don't embrace changes because no such need to change. Quite stagnant, recommended for those looking to get the monthly paycheck, not suitable for those really interested to contribute in the tertiary education particularly in their field.

    Junior Executive
    May 2021
    Kuala Lumpur1 to 2 years in the role, current employee
    Good for the transition period from Junior to Senior
    The good things- Provide attractive employee welfare packages in terms of days of annual leaves, sick leaves, and high contribution to the EPF - Good for young people to engage with different generations of people to understand their working style, communication, culture, and mindset. - The company starts hiring the young generation employees for more inputs, contributions, and chances. - Provide internal workshops for self-enhancement.
    The challenges- The administrative systems are not friendly and not improved even though the institution has been many years; less digitalized and computerized make the paperworks endless in every position; the employees basically spend a lot of times just to get the work done because of manual working culture and environment. It is quite challenging for young generation as they wish to work efficiency and cut down the nonsense procedures. Wonder if there's a research and development team or department to discuss and improve the administrative sections of this institution but not just move away the tasks away from someone and shift to another party. - Career advancement is quite passive here, the promotion is based on year of services (at least 10 years), and as of an administrative staff, they are seldom to be appreciated and their voices less to be heard, the management might determine whatever decision based on internal arrangement or decision but not based on the needs of the employees. They might try many efforts to remain outlook but the concerns to the internal staffs are less. - Genrally, the workload is heavy (depends on your department and positions), if you are fine with it, there's a good place to come. - It is more like a skill used for 10 years but not learn 10 skills in a year, it has repetitive tasks here, the longer you are here, the more you familiar with. You need to break through yourself else you could be in the comfort zone but still cannot get a promotion.

    Aug 2020
    5 to 6 years in the role, former employee
    Poor management and lack of humanity
    The good thingsOnly clock in without clock out. Provide medical coverage.
    The challengesToo many teaching hours compare to other universities and colleges. Lecturers are required to involve in a lot of administrative work and marketing work such as open day duties, roadshow, adopted school program, mentor-mentee program, selling coupons during the college anniversary celebration. Most lecturers are overloaded and don't have time to conduct research but research is 1 of the KPI. Hard to take a term-time even with a solid reason. Compulsory to do replacement for all public holidays but without OT claim.

    extremely super Terrible and horrible Management
    The good thingsthe salary is banked in on time, additionally the bonus given not based on KPI
    The challengesToo high workload and marking load, furthermore have to taking care on internship, final year project, research etc. Not only that, the workload also need us to go out for roadshow, open day counselling, and furthermore give talk to students at secondary school, organize workshop for students etc. During weekend and public holiday also needs to work. Additionally, it is really hard to get promotion here. The salary can get stuck for many years without any promotion.

    Mar 2020
    1 to 2 years in the role, current employee
    Overall good experience for fresh graduate.
    The good things8-5, stable working environments. The average compensation package with high employer EPF contribution.
    The challengesLack of career development especially for administrative staff, internal promotion is often to be offered even though there is plenty of young staff who up to challenge. The talent acquisition of this company is poor. HR failed to identify the potential of the employee and failed to allocate them to the correct position. To bureaucracy, talking about to have an open mindset but hardly to implement a realistic plan to improve, mainly because of those senior staff are reluctant to adopt the change.

    The lecturers are very helpful and diligent on teaching as you can seek them for any doubts.
    The good thingsThe Redbrick Canteen food is very tasty with affordable price and the sport center facilities is quite nice in which they have huge swimming pool that can allocate a bunch of students.
    The challengesThe TARUC Cyber Centre (CITC) is lacking of computers for students in which some students must to queue up for utilising computers,Besides, CITC is too inadequate of tables and chairs for student to have a sit and study.Last but not least, the micophone and speaker system in lecture hall is very poor in which not functional and lecturer forced to shout loudly in order to make sure the students sitting at the back side can hear and this thing is very awful and arousing tho !

    Limited resources and poor career advancement
    The good thingsGood benefit, e.g. medical coverage for pregnancy, and annual leave
    The challengesToo many protocol and unequal distribution of work. Too high expectation but not willing to provide career advancement chances. Career advancement given based on seniority (i.e. number of years service) and not based on the efficiency of an individual.
