Pros

Fellow employees are some of the kindest and most helpful people. Due to SMB environment, you end up learning alot of stuff even from other departments. Good allowances and above average increments especially if the bosses like you. Up to 20% increment per year is possible.

Cons

Consists of long 10 hour shifts with a lack of manpower and high workload leading to burnout. OT is provided but if management thinks you're working too much OT they will call you in for a dress down and demand you somehow squeeze your workload into less time. Excessive office politics whereby management practices favoritism in dispersing bonuses, tasks etc. Even if you do get a bonus it's miniscule, not even amounting to a full months salary. Management prefers hiring fresh grads who have fewer ideas and opinions and will just do what they're told. Management in the KL office have little to no prior working experience having been hired there as fresh grads and worked their way up. Manager is a big believer of using shame to increase performance and they're fond of public humiliation whereby mistakes get posted and discussed in public group chat instead of a personal discussion. Little to no career growth, only an increase in workload and leaves employees feeling undervalued. If you do get promoted, it leads to an excessive workload and lots of overtime so nothing to look forward to there. Only management is allowed to work from home and employees are not provided this flexibility. Many issues with the office's infrastucture i.e. Wifi instability / AC breaksdown and employees were asked to use their own data to continue working. No maternity or paternity leave provided hence employees have resorted to resigning close to due date. Current employees are asked to post good reviews to try and offset the sad truth and tempt jobseekers to apply.

Pros

None. Most of the positive reviews are driven by management to improve overall ratings. If you want a clearer picture of how the company actually operates, check out the reviews on Trustpilot.

Cons

There is minimal guidance at this company, it’s largely reliant on self-learning rather than structured support. Reporting to multiple managers often creates conflicting priorities, leading to task overload and inefficiencies. Frequent changes in direction result in repeated rework, with little clarity or alignment even for larger initiatives due to the lack of structured communication or meetings. Performance is often “rewarded” with more work instead of recognition—high performers are given additional responsibilities, including tasks outside their job scope, and are expected to support other departments regardless of relevance to their role. This creates an unsustainable workload and dilutes focus. Additionally, there is little to no clear career progression, and many employees leave due to the lack of growth opportunities, contributing to a high turnover rate. Most employee benefits have been removed, with no bonuses or meaningful incentives to motivate performance. There is a strong culture of micromanagement and lack of trust in employees. Working hours can be long (up to 10 hours continuously) with minimal breaks and restrictions on phone usage. There have been instances of unprofessional behavior by the top management, including public scolding of employees and shouting across the office, which contributes to a toxic atmosphere. Transparency from management is also lacking, particularly during system issues or operational disruptions, leaving employees uninformed and disengaged.

Pros

These 5 star reviews are made by management themselves to make it seem like this is a "good" company. They are at their downfall, don't apply here. it used to be a good place to build and get experience, now its not.

Cons

Everything is in shambles, all thanks to the management who somehow got the title to be a manager even though their working experience is only here at this company. So out of touch with other employees. You work 7-5pm, 10 hours. no work life balance. I heard money is tight right now, so not a lot of benefits. No ones happy here. The ones that do are probably the managers 'favourite'. Even the smallest mistakes (such as being on the phone for five minutes) can lead to a warning letter, with management quick to question your productivity. There is a clear double standard in work arrangements; managers are allowed to work from home twice a week, while employees are strictly required to be in the office. Despite this, managers still question employees’ productivity even when they are not consistently online during their own remote days, and some leave as early as 3 PM when working from the office. This lack of accountability and unequal treatment shows how much the management is 'fair' and has 'leadership integrity'.
