    Colleagues are friendly, but poor management causes stress and bad work-life balance.
    The good thingsThe colleagues are friendly, supportive, and easy to work with. They create a positive atmosphere and make the daily work experience more enjoyable despite the challenges from management. Having a good team can make tasks more manageable and foster collaboration.
    The challengesManagement is poor and often creates a stressful work environment. Staff are frequently given unreasonable workloads that are difficult to complete within the time frame. The boss tends to consider herself always right and perfect, often dismissing the efforts of others and making it hard for employees to feel their work is valued. Instructions are often mixed, redundant, and constantly changing, which can lead to confusion and mistakes. If tasks are not carefully noted, employees risk being blamed for errors. Work-life balance is difficult to maintain because of excessive demands, frequent last-minute changes, and unclear priorities.

    The management seemed very chaotic and inexperienced. Management also does not communicate expectations and SOP as well as they should. Which is a major problem when you are dealing with part time lecturers as we have actual full time jobs.
    The good thingsNot much. The campus looks fancy.
    The challengesWhen came in as a part time lecturer there wasn't much in terms of briefing and expectation setting. I wasn't even informed when my fee will be paid. After a few months sudden documentation and SOP was set to me without prior notice. They were also given with a short deadline. Suddenly they started slowing down payment and eventually refuse to make my final month payment after I hand in my resignation even when I followed the procedure in my contract. Until now over a year later I have not receive my payment for the final month I was teaching as a part timer there.

    If you are passionate about working for a university that relies on AI for most of their work and restrict their students' freedom of expression, UNITAR is just the right place for you.
    The good thingsBenefits of parking, medical insurance and steady salary every month. Events at the company and team building were also perks.
    The challengesThe work environment where you cannot have privacy and sometimes you need to work off the work hours. In terms of relationship with staff, you will be excluded if you don't act like your own race and religion. If you wear something against the code of conduct, you will be reported. Those who have the company's favour will have better chance. Also, with the rise of AI, most of the notes for external students were prompts and very messy. No matter what prompts your superior demands of you to do, results will be sloppy. Unrealistic deadlines, where if you have CHATGPT, they expect you to produce more within a day instead of a week.

    Only for those who wants to experience bad management
    The good thingsNothing much to describe. Perks are all below average. I think the only good thing I experienced before was only having a good work relationship with the officemates and colleagues from different divisions.
    The challengesPoor management, no direction, corruptions, misleading, bad working experience.

    Align with the fast growing generation.
    The good thingsThe people ranging to the staff, academician and for sure, the lovely students. The programs offered are well developed to adhere to the new fast growing world that we are leaving in. The cozy environment gives a great vibe for those who are involved in its beautiful place. Really appreciate all the things I have learned and will forever be indebted with the awesome university.
    The challengesNothing that one could not endure. Typical lecturers' problems that are seen elsewhere. Therefore, I would not be a problem for any one of you if you wish to further your career there as an academician or as a staff. However, the parking fee is considered overcharged, but then again, so does everywhere else.

    Environment that I could not expect

    enjoyable moment
    The good thingsYou could learned and explore your creativity. Bosses are great even through up and down storm. Team mate is the best. YOU WILL NEVER FIND GOOD ENVIRONMENT AS AT UNITAR. One thing that you could look forward into is their opportunity given to the lower rank staff on giving their ideas. Best of luck!
    The challengesAll company have their own challenge. Just be strong. However, for UNITAR the challenges, is the management changes quit few times so you need to be flexible on receiving orders from the new management. Goodluck!
