    What’s it like working at UIG Architects?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at UIG Architects appreciate the excellent opportunities to learn and gain experience on complex, international standard projects. Many reviewers highlighted the knowledgeable senior architects and bosses who serve as great mentors, as well as the valuable hands-on experience of managing projects independently. Additionally, employees have formed meaningful friendships with colleagues and appreciate the cooperative team environment in various departments.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including long working hours with regular overtime and expectations to work evenings, weekends, and public holidays. Work-life balance can be challenging to maintain, particularly for higher-ranking staff. Some employees have noted that salary levels may not always align with workload, and there is pressure to meet tight deadlines, which requires effective time and stress management. Additionally, the high turnover rate has been mentioned as a factor that can impact team stability.

    I quit after 7 months. **Avoid this place at all cost**
    The good thingsQuite a good company to gain experience in complex projects. Friendly HR. The office is probably the only nice thing to look at. Walking distance from MRT Phileo Damansara. However, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
    The challengesNo work-life balance. No training. No compensation or allowances. Poor work culture. High turnover rate. Some coworkers are noisy at work. Some superiors would raise their voice at you over a rookie mistake.

    No worklife balance, poor management
    The good things- learn more and hands on handling projects on your own
    The challenges- poor management - high turnover rate - OT everyday no claim - working hours 9am - 12am everyday - expect to come back to office on weekends/ public holiday - salary does not match workload - lack of staff for big scale of project - poor distribution of staff manpower for project

    No work life balance
    The good thingsGreat bosses. Average salary range. Good place for fresh graduates to learn new things.
    The challengesNo work life balance. The work culture is poor. People will expect you to work until late night every single day and will question you if you go back on time especially if you are a high ranking staff i.e Graduate Architect or Associate.
