    Pathetic excuse for a shared service company
    The good thingsThe only good thing about this company is the office location
    The challengesJust terrible. The management has no intent of improving the quality of work to help employees reach a better balance between their work vs life. Toxic employees are abundant as well as manager/assistant managers with the knowledge pool of a junior employee

    Bitter-sweet memories. But not recommended
    The good thingsThe location is ideal. Near to MRT. Colleagues are rather helpful.
    The challengesThe management focused too much on unimportant things and did not want to improve the SOP and system. The mid-managers are only concerned about the quantity not the quality of work. Do not trust the good reviews as the company will ensure the newcomers share their comments at the earliest. No work-life balance. This company is suitable for people who are super workaholic.

    An average SSC with mediocre management
    The good thingsColleagues were helpful and office location is ideally situated next to the MRT.
    The challengesManagement were unrealiable and focused too much on things that do not improve the quality of your work. Interns would rather use AI for their reviews rather than articulating it themselves so that they may learn to better improve their speech skills. The operations that the SSC supports are fine as what you would expect however it is just the lower management for the MY SSC that are rather backwards thinking. It is stressful for the wrong reasons

    The good thingsPay is average. Location is ideal as it is directly connected with the MRT.
    The challengesBad manager and assistant manager that does not value the thoughts and ideas of its employees but instead only micromanages them. Not much to gain in terms of knowledge on the accounting and finance processes. Backwards office culture that does not have any flexibility on working hours unlike other shared services. Instead of prioritizing the job getting done, they place emphasis on getting into work on time. In a world of rapid growth and advancements to the working culture, the company is stuck in the old ways like a rock refusing to move as the stream changes its course.

    I learned a lot because the system here is manual, so I got to experience everything from start to finish.
    The good thingsThe team and coworkers are extremely supportive, the facilities are excellent, and we were able to bond during our lunch break. This company also offers a hybrid work environment.
    The challengesAs we do a manual process here, we got many workloads but then it's good to enhance our skills to get a solid knowledge.

    Hold a special place in my heart this SSC, but will never look back!
    The good thingsBest part is the colleagues who is very helpful in many ways. Good for starter and intern who wants to feel SSC experience.
    The challenges-Micromanaging level is top notch. Noticed that, they are bosses, not leader. - No empathy and trust at all. -No work-life balance. If you're workaholic, I recommend this SSC.

    Manual Process and Tight Schedule
    The good thingsNear LRT and shopping mall.
    The challengesThe company is good for fresh graduate because it can build a strong foundation in accounting. However, The system is too outdated and almost 90% manual process with tight schedule. You need to bear in mind that you do internal and external job in this company. Basically no work balance. You need to standby 24 hour. The company also didn't provide a proper training to the employee. If you can work under pressure and sacrifice you time and weekend. Then you can go for it.
