Pros

- Pretty good work life balance - Colleagues are great

Cons

- Lacks communication among leadership to employees. - Continually strips benefits among employees (changed restaurant catered lunches to frozen inhouse meals, then removed lunches altogether, removed phone benefits, was 2 days in office, then 3, and now 4). - No growth in this company, especially if you're an associate. They removed their old structure, and there are rarely any new opportunities for promotions now. - Terrible at retaining talent

Pros

Hybrid 3 days in office. Sit stand desks for everyone. Informal flexible hours as long as work is done because we are expected to work outside of our working hours.

Cons

Expected to work outside of your working hours is the biggest con. Also, the way they fire people or let people go is really insensitive and cruel. They would offer you an illusion of choice of resigning on the spot or them terminating you. Then you are told to pack your bags immediately and you lose access on the same day. They love doing it during lunch so you don't even get a chance to say goodbye or ask what happened. So many times I'd come back from lunch and someone is just GONE. No heads up beforehand whatsoever. They also dissolved 2 teams over night in India without letting most of the leaders know. The leaders whose teams are affected by the dissolution of these 2 teams so business continuity isn't planned ahead. Not to mention the countless people whose livelihood have been taken away just like that. The salary and "incentive" is very disproportionate to the workload and expectation as well. I've made the company over 200k USD and they have given me less than 2,500 MYR in incentive. Yes that's right, we charge clients in USD but our incentives are calculated in MYR!! My basic salary is only RM5,500 with expectation that I'll check my emails all the time even when I'm on leave. The list goes on and on. If you're considering a career here, don't.
