Pros

There are no pros to highlight.

Cons

My time at Synergy XYZ was deeply disappointing. I was initially hired as an Influencer Marketing Specialist, but my job title was later altered to Partnership Specialist without proper discussion or clarity. Alongside this change came a significant increase in workload, with no corresponding salary adjustment or added benefits. The working culture was extremely discouraging. Gossip and favouritism were prevalent across teams, creating an environment where merit and hard work were often overlooked. The HR department consistently failed to demonstrate responsibility or accountability. Tasks were frequently delegated without proper oversight, and there was a general reluctance to own outcomes. Leadership, particularly at the executive level, lacked direction. The CEO perpetuated a toxic culture and was often the source of favouritism and resistance to innovation. Despite ongoing poor performance in live hosting and campaigns, the company continued to repeat the same ineffective strategies, showing an unwillingness to learn or adapt. Clients were often difficult to manage due to unclear communication and a lack of structure internally. Workflow processes were chaotic, and there was a consistent lack of alignment between departments. On the surface, the company may appear competent, but internally, it struggles with basic coordination and transparency. Even the office environment lacked vitality. Basic amenities such as a coffee machine were absent, and the overall workspace felt neglected and uninspiring. 0/10 would not recommend. It may suit those who are comfortable working in an unstructured, highly political environment, but for professionals looking for clarity, fairness, and genuine leadership, this is not the place.

Pros

only good colleagues and team members

Cons

- late salary since Feb'26 and many still pending their payment but management is being selective to pay...only pay those that "obey" and those exited has to chase and ask but no response from HR or the management - EPF, SOCSO was not credited for over 6 months and Income tax was a full year of 2025 not paid but they deduct from employee salary...so where does the money goes? stop giving excuse of using 3rd party!! If you really assigned to outsource, you guys don't even tracked if the money credited or not? - high turnover rate due to HR hiring without transparency, always hook people in and once on board they will include task that is not mention during interview or part of your job scope - HR blaming game is high and no one can be trust as they side the company and boss...they are trained to do dirty job (Irene & Pui Ying) - management always sugarcoat and never make changes as they only do things according their way...if you can't fit in or offended them, they will release you with immediate notice

Pros

Fun officemates, great supportive colleagues. Most of them are resilience, very understanding and keep things professional.

Cons

Management is a little weird, they somehow cannot think logically & keep giving unrealistic ideas and startegy despite executive advising them; moreover they keep repeating old mistakes eventhough the department have rectify it for them. Recently I heard it has started gotten bad again. & staffs arent getting paid since March. On top of that my eis and socso isnt being paid since last august but deduction is stated has been made on my payslip. suspicious where those money went to.
