    Speedy interview (less than 30 minutes)
    The good thingsStraight to the points
    The challengesToo little time given. The interviewer do not even want to know about your experiences and backgrounds. It is just like \"Do you have ITIL?\", \"Do you know SQL?\" and etc. Might as well you just put it in the job advert that anybody with this set skills are employed directly, no need to go for all the interview hassle. The interviewer do not even care to sell their company to the interviewee

    Overall positive experience
    The good thingsI was working with this company for 7 years. Worked three roles in total. Good work life balance. Good medical. Plenty annual leaves. Salary was alright but depending on which grade you are in. General service salary is ok but not great. National officer would be better. Income tax free.
    The challengesCareer progression is very little. Pension benefits are bad compared to EPF.

    Review
    The good things1. Good work-life balance 2. Good medical benefits 3. Pension scheme 4. Tax-free salary 5. Opportunity to work with colleagues from all over the world 6. Small chance to travel depending on your level and job scope 7. Non-profit (international) organisation, so there are no \"sales\" pressures 8. Relatively new office with good & modern furniture
    The challenges1. No EPF or bonuses, only 12 months salary 2. Fixed increments up to 10 years, then you have reached the ceiling 3. No employee development plan 4. No merit based system - performers are not rewarded, and slackers are not punished 5. Senior roles are only for international staff - non-Malaysian. Capable Malaysian employees have no chance of advancement to top management
