    Finance Role
    Apr 2026
    Bangsar South Kuala Lumpur7 to 8 years in the role, current employee
    Concerns Over Leadership Accountability and Management Practices
    The good thingsTeamwork at staff level is good
    The challengesThere are serious concerns regarding leadership capability, with no clear direction, inconsistent decision making, and questionable professional background and conduct. In some cases, promotions do not appear to be based on performance outcomes, and there are strong perceptions of favoritism. Policies are not applied consistently across levels, particularly regarding punctuality and tardiness, clearly reflecting a lack of accountability at leadership level. While staff are expected to follow working hours, certain heads, even those under probation, are habitually late and arrive openly with no consequence, further demonstrating a lack of accountability and unfairness. This repeated lack of discipline and accountability showing clear disrespect for others’ time, disrupting workflow, reducing efficiency, and demotivating staff across departments. In addition, communication is limited, with a closed door management style that reflects a more traditional old style approach.

    Good starting platform to kickstart your career
    The good thingsYou have a lot of support from fellow technical teams on other sites. Starting salary and benefit are very good
    The challengesManagement do not really care about on site problems, they will only comment on the reports and numbers. If you get a new site/project, dont be surprised if budget, manpower and asset listing is not sufficient then what you actually have to work with.

    Bangsar South Kuala Lumpur10 to 11 years in the role, current employee
    Too much focus on visibility than real value
    The good thingsSlow pace and relax working from home is good
    The challengesCost cutting is happening across the company, but management generally seems more focused on visibility than real results. Many engagement there are focus on looking impressive rather than what really matters. Giving each senior person their own driver and car for travelling adds unnecessary cost, and publicizing staff visits other necessary activities creates unnecessary visibility that doesn’t serve any purpose. These actions are not suited to the nature of the business, feel wasteful, and could be managed in a simpler, more practical way and more meaningful way.

    Leadership concerns
    The good thingsWorking from home is implemented
    The challengesLeadership appears weak, and decisions are often influenced by specific individuals. Career progression seems to depend on closeness to HR and certain leaders. Some leaders who are not performing well have been promoted or given larger portfolios, raising concerns about favoritism. There are also concerns regarding some HR leadership hires based on their past professional track records.h

    Human Resources Role
    Nov 2025
    Bangsar South Kuala Lumpur1 to 2 years in the role, current employee
    HR Leadership Lacks Integrity and Professional Standards
    The good thingsSome teams in the company are committed and genuinely want to drive improvement. The work environment could be better if leadership in HR practiced fairness and professionalism.
    The challengesThe HR 8management culture is concerning. Key positions seem to be filled with individuals brought in from previous companies, creating a circle of favoritism rather than merit-based promotion. The team appears overstaffed yet lacks efficiency and confidentiality — with private information sometimes discussed too freely among employees. Leadership decisions often reflect personal bias, and promotions tend to reward those aligned with certain individuals rather than performance or contribution. This has led to low morale and a loss of trust among employees.

    The challengesWorkplace politic persisted especially at higher management level. Also spread of fear on cost cutting as reason for downsizing of mid/entry level workforce instead of utilizing existing talent. Strangely the organisation still paying bonuses.
