Pros

Good location and annual staff trip.

Cons

Management didn't act on several incidents of sexual harassment towards females. Boys club culture with minimal females in senior positions. The office is in a good spot however the building is tired and for a period of time there were rats. The company boasts "flexible" working hours however this either means an 8am or 9am start. Management also make a regular habit of secretly checking all Skype messages.

eGENTIC strongly refutes any suggestion of sexual harrassment or an unsafe work environment for female staff. Approximately 70% of our staff are women and many occupy senior leadership positions. We welcome any potential candidate to get the opinions of these women to make an informed decision. eGENTIC has flexible hours where people can choose to start at 8am, 9am or 10am. Many of our staff greatly appreciate this flexibility so they can maintain a work-life balance! In some cases, some roles must start at certain times due to time-zone considerations. The assertion regarding Skype is completely false and without basis. Yes, the large office building we occupy DID have a rat at one stage. The rodent in question has since moved on to a happier place :)

Pros

Good salary, good number of AL, the work is just not challenging at all so if you like a laid back company and to just pretend like you are working and take long toilet breaks like what the senior does then this company is for you.

Cons

1. There's absolutely no career progression over here. They may give you a title change and call it a promotion but you're doing the exact same thing so if you're interested in just having a title change but stagnant work then this may not be an issue for you. 2. The company has trust issues that they need to see everyone at work such that even during COVID where all other companies are activating their BCP, this management only did it because the Govt made it mandatory. 3. Colleagues are nice and friendly but only if you are accepted into their circle. The company hires at least 70% of their employees from the Malay community, save for international employees are who are hired to speak in their native language for the countries that they are managing. So if you can't speak the language and you're not part of the team but don't mind being solo for the time you are working here then this won't be an issue for you. It's not just the hiring patterns, they also get a lot of leeway, they get to go out and buy their lunch and then enter the meeting room to watch their shows over lunch for a full hour which essentially means they get a longer lunch break than everyone else. 4. Marketing are tasked to get the cheapest leads. Sales are constantly dealing w clients complaining the leads are not good in quality. But the bosses don't care because they just want low cost and high revenue. It's fine for them that companies don't carry on and they will blame the client's calling scripts and say it's not the lead's quality.

Pros

20 days annual leave. Good place for people who are not really looking to climb the corporate ladder and just want to get paid and have a laid-back lifestyle.

Cons

So many things about this company that are horrifying that I don't even know where to begin. Firstly, there is so much bullying going on as the company has 0 standards in hiring people. It is filled with very closed-minded, racist, and toxic employees who love spreading gossip and rumors and are very difficult to work with. Many people have feedback to the bosses about their negative experience, but they don't do anything about it due to their poor leadership and the lack of ability to make proper decisions. In the end, the boss himself got bullied because he simply did not take any actions. What a joke. The bosses who are the ones sitting in the leadership position doesn't take full responsibility for the low morale of the company and doesn't even do anything to address the situation and they just come to work taking a 5 figure monthly salary without doing anything substantial for the company. All they do is micromanage and do a job that is meant for positions lower than what they are holding and worst of all, they were reluctant with employees doing a full work from home at the beginning of Covid because they were afraid that the employees would be slacking off at home. You care about us slacking off but you yourself don't even do anything... The company has 0 culture and this is reflected in the hiring process. They literally take in anyone with just 1 round of interview without any proper screening, so a lot of bad quality people get to come in. Worse of all, some of these people are just taking advantage of the company but when other employees feedback to the bosses, they don't believe them until the bosses actually get sh*t on. The bosses think they can just put up a few posters in the office with inspirational quotes and suddenly the company would have "culture".. what a joke.. Literally everyone who left the company, left unhappily due to the toxic culture. Only the toxic ones are left because the bosses kept allowing their bad behavior. The sales and marketing team also don't understand how each other work and this is a reflection of the bosses because they themselves don't have a clear idea as well. Bosses often make dumb decisions, causing the company to lose money and causing you as an employee to not get your bonus because of their bad decisions.
