Pros

Working in Astro gives great exposure to large-scale productions and creative projects. The environment is fast-paced, so there’s always something new to learn, especially for people in multimedia and content-related roles. You also get to collaborate with talented teams across different departments and build strong industry experience.

Cons

The workload can sometimes be overwhelming, especially during major campaigns or events with tight deadlines. Work-life balance may not always be ideal due to last-minute changes and long working hours. Internal processes can also feel a bit slow or unstructured depending on the team.

Company downscaling and no future

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good colleague, free parking, free astro

Cons

The company has gone through MSS and multiple resignations, leaving remaining teams with heavier workloads and uncertainty around backfills due to the hiring freeze. There is also a strong sense of internal politics and perceived favoritism at senior levels, which can affect morale. Culture-wise, the company still feels quite traditional, with a preference for face-to-face discussions over emails, calls or Teams.
