Pros

I'll be fair. Hybrid flexible work hours, great medical benefits (covers spouse and kids), accessible location, plenty of food options and the best colleagues anyone could ask for.

Cons

It’s insulting to hear the US C-suite and sales teams raving about expensive dinners and "green revenue" while they simultaneously slashed our medical insurance in half. Their excuse was "not everyone was using it," and "because we're hiring more people," but we all know it’s just cold cost-cutting while they live large. They keep buying up other companies to make the numbers look pretty for a potential sale, but meanwhile, long-term clients are leaving. Instead of fixing the service, they’re just "trimming the fat" by retrenching dozens of people in KL by Q1 2026. The best thing is, they didn't even address this in the recent townhall. As for bonuses, don't expect to be rewarded for hard work. Bonuses go to the people management "likes," not the ones actually carrying the workload. Amazing, talented people are leaving because they’re tired of being ignored. Despite our high-quality output, leadership still sees the SEA offices as "cheap labor." There’s no respect for the expertise here. Just a focus on how many people they can remove to make the Q1 balance sheet look better for investors.

You get a salary to shut up and follow orders

Cons

Too many to talk about They are in the business of acquiring companies to burn to the ground and destroy the acquired companies reputation Extremely toxic environment They do not care about customers, they set unrealistic sales goals then fire the sales reps hence the high turnover They are all about hiring South eastern employees at disposable low wages to replace staff in American companies They fake camaraderie at all hands meetings they insist on having that no one wants to attend but are forced to You will regret accepting an offer within the first week No principles whatsoever Everyone puts on a smiling masks Don’t take my word, do your own research Question why the CEO has a 2.8 ratings

We take feedback like this seriously, even when it reflects a very challenging perspective. Our acquisitions and partnerships are strategic decisions aimed at building long‑term capabilities and delivering consistent value to our clients, while maintaining high standards across the organization. We value our team members across all regions and roles, and are committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful working environment. Our quarterly All Hands sessions are voluntary gatherings intended to share updates, recognize contributions, and stay connected, with recordings available for those unable to attend. While this experience is not what we strive for, we continue investing in leadership development, employee well‑being, and open communication to strengthen the overall employee experience.
