Pros

Great place if you want to grow technically. Always learning new things and they actually stay up to date with current tech. Teammates are mostly cool people. Not kiasu like other companies in Malaysia where everyone’s backstabbing each other. No micromanagement, very flexible. They care about what you deliver, not about watching you work.

Cons

Feel completely betrayed by senior management. They keep hiring VPs left and right with random job titles, then turn around and say “company’s not profitable” when it’s time for our bonuses and increments. Peanuts for us developers while they’re throwing money at executives. The audacity - right after telling us there’s no budget, they post job ads as the HIGHEST PAYING company for a data scientist role they’re hiring. Like? So there’s money for new hires and VPs but not for the people already here busting their bottoms? Makes you feel terrible as a developer. We’re the ones building the product but the budget apparently only exists for executives with overlapping roles and external talent. Zero respect for loyalty.

Pros

Many people I worked with are dedicated, talented, and knowledgeable in their field. Unfortunately, the workplace culture often relies heavily on their efforts without providing adequate support or recognition.

Cons

The organization would benefit from stronger communication practices and more stable leadership. Employees frequently experienced uncertainty and stress due to inconsistent and often erratic decision making from senior leadership, starting with the CEO, HR leadership often chooses to reinforce or outright enable ineffective management practices.
