Pros

- Some colleagues are genuinely helpful and supportive. - Initial onboarding experience may seem promising.

Cons

1. Bad Management: Poor leadership is evident at every level. Management lacks transparency, communication, and a structured approach to achieving goals. 2. Manipulative CEO in Malaysia (And global management team): The CEO in Malaysia is highly manipulative, consistently fails to keep promises, and assigns unrealistic KPIs without taking responsibility for mistakes. Expect plenty of blame-shifting. 3. Below Market Compensation: Salaries are well below industry standards, and raises or incentives are rare, if they exist at all. 4. Shifting Job Roles: The job description (JD) is meaningless here. You will frequently be asked to cover roles and responsibilities outside of your original scope, often without warning or acknowledgment. 5. No Clear Vision or Strategy: There is no proper long-term strategy or direction for the company, leading to constant changes and confusion in day-to-day work. 6. Staff Blaming Culture: Mistakes and shortcomings are always placed on the employees, and leadership never accepts responsibility for their poor planning or failed initiatives. 7. Bait-and-Switch: Management is nice and accommodating during the hiring process but quickly turns on staff once they’re locked in, finding trivial reasons to terminate employees without justification.
