    Convenient workplace, but limited opportunities for professional growth
    The good thingsI have really enjoyed the time and money saved by working here, as the workplace is very close to my home. Being nearby has reduced my commuting time and transportation costs and can maintain work life balance sometimes.
    The challengesSince joining, there has been no professional growth, as I remain in the same position without clear development or promotion opportunities. This is inconsistent with progress seen in other departments, particularly HR, and feels unfair to staff in other teams.

    Working at the University of Nottingham Malaysia has been exceptionally rewarding, offering a great balance of professional growth and personal well-being.
    The good thingsThis is an excellent place for learning and professional growth, providing access to advanced technologies and diverse expertise. It offers a good work-life balance, which is a significant improvement compared to my previous roles in manufacturing.
    The challengesThe main challenge lies in harmonizing policies and procedures to streamline processes across different departments. Improvements in family medical benefits would enhance the overall staff experience.

    Better than other Education Company
    The good thingsThe salary is quite high for education but just right behind the industry. Benefit is quite good. Slow pace Company good place where when you decide to settle down everything. Can use AL even probation. Give compassionate leave, marriage, paternity leave and maternity leave better than other. Free parking.
    The challengesNo allowance. No roof parking. Procedure by procedure. Too many system.

    Interesting at first, but became quite stressful with quite a amount of workload
    The good thingsMy department colleagues are quite united and friendly. We always try to help each other when we have difficulties and try to reduce each other's workload. We also do not have OT.
    The challengesThe amount of workload keeps piling up from time to time, as we do not have a specific job description for our role/department. Because we are a new department, the amount of stuff that we have to do is sometimes overwhelming which results in a decrease in effectiveness and quality.

    It was a great experience for student who is just starting to learn about the ropes in a working environment.
    The good thingsThe environment was healthy and it was easy to work with everyone. It gave me a good sense of what to do when working in the accommodation department that deals with tenants, maintenance, and the central administration of the campus.
    The challengesThe system used when checking-in tenants are sometimes inefficient which will lead to a delay in the check-in process.

    A good place
    The good thingsGood and comfortable environment. Helpful colleagues. The IT people is always there to help you. You're required to use Moodle and Echo360. Very high tech. and up-to-date classrooms. Nice view. It has everything there, for example, lake, gym, swimming pool.
    The challengesThe monthly claim is required to be submitted manually by end of the month. I think by now, the university can implement online claim basis, which also to be approve by the supervisor and Head of Department.

    Enjoyable
    The good thingsThe university provides a lot of programmes for staff to participate and building network within the company at all levels. I like the 'global' environment because of the mixture of nationality of students and staff around the campus.
    The challengesEmployer needs to provide a clear guidelines and assistance for employee career advancement or progression. This is to ensure that employees are not complacent and they have the spirit to do better and be better.
