    multitasking and need to think outside of the box all the time to solve the daily issue.
    The good thingswork independently and manage your own task by yourself.
    The challengesmultitasking is good because you can learn a lot of thing. however there is a tendency you will be burnout because of too much task need to be solve and even you being underpaid (e.g you need to do from data entry, filling & the final report itself). This company do not have a proper organization structure. Specific staff for a specific task. The staff need to do from A to Z everything and management don't even care. They only care how to maximize the company profit for their own pocket.

    Good if you are looking for comfort, bad if you are ambitious and innovative
    The good thingsPeople are nice, friendly and helpful. Sr management have stayed in this company for a very long time. Very close knit staff force.
    The challenges- Technology is very very outdated. Still use Lotus Inmail (inconvenience) - No innovation and change since 1960 - Substandard benefits - High boomer/Gen X population = old-school. Not suitable for young and innovative people

    Great people with great culture
    The good thingsAbout the department, awesome team mates for being a good support system to me and the most kind and selfless manager I have met in my working life. About the company, friendly colleagues between different departments and bosses in a non-political working environment. Self-discipline and good learning attitude is utmost important to strive for success and growth. Never be afraid of no one to guide you, rather than you are not willing to learn!
    The challengesNothing much to complain other than the salary range is competitively low. However bonus is moderately high (depending on performance).

    The good thingsThe company has a proper working place and environment for employee to work on their daily tasks. Colleagues are very helpful and kind. They will do their best and effort to guide and let you experience to know the things better. Furthermore, colleagues also gentle and nice to the staff. Moreover, the benefits are good for an employee.
    The challengesI find difficulties while I started my working in this company. Most of the terms and keywords are not under my understanding. Therefore, I would need to pay attention and take up some times to learn the matter. Besides this, I found that the system of the network, social media and other electronics appliances and application should be updated in order to be one of the competitive companies.
