Pros

Strong brand recognition and exposure to a dynamic aviation industry. Opportunities to handle high-impact projects early in your career. Energetic and resilient colleagues. Fast decision-making culture and room to learn through real business challenges.

Cons

Leadership style can feel top-down and directive, with limited psychological safety for open dialogue. Communication is sometimes unclear, and decisions may lack transparency. Employee feedback is not always visibly acted upon, which can affect morale and trust. Workload expectations can be intense without consistent support structures.

Pros

Visionary, risk-taking leadership, fantastic corporate culture with a 'we can achieve anything' feeling throughout the company. Career progression is good for those who have the drive to succeed. Flat management structure, minimal bureaucracy. Beautiful new corporate HQ in KL that has to be seen to be believed.

Cons

Always on call. There are a very small number of people among the senior management who should be moved out as they lack management ability and only allowed to remain due to loyalty. Salaries are low, well below industry standard, this is a problem against a backdrop of rising consumer prices. Due to low salaries, many junior staff use it as a jumping off point to something better.
