- management does not value it is own employees. Salaries are minimum and to get a raise is almost impossible.
- sales team has to return to company salary raise in case they do not meet sales target for the next 3 months (like seriously?)
- mismanagement from HR, they do not tell in advance in case you are foreigner that you have to pay 28% tax during your first 6 months in Malaysia as well as they will not inform you that you have to bear your visa fees until you are confirmed. These are the pleasant surprises for people who come to Malaysian to work or recent students who only starts working. Confirmation takes 6 months and they usually try not to confirm their international staff so that they do not need to return visa cost to them.
- if you are confirmed or not confirmed, in both cases you will not get paid for last month in case you decide to resign. only these who work over 2 years as confirmed staff will go peacefully
- clients are only money cows. a lot of promises and funny new ideas but they never work. end of the day staff is blamed for failures even though we just execute management orders
- you will be exhausted by the amount of systems used in the organization of 20 people, CRM, tons of google docs, trello, asana, CMS, client access, emails
- management loves whatsapp groups and to text everyone during weekend, late at night asking questions. please remember, your personal number, not a company phone so that you can switch off after working hours
- no hr policy for human capital development, for team huddles sometimes they ask you to bring your own food. team huddles are on Friday after working hours and never fun (like seriously, people got life on Fridays)
- management got weird sense of humor, if your mind is not strong, you might feel that you are harassed all the time
- and again, you are never never valued. they will make you suffer during your work, but then when you resign they will create a fairy tale for you to stay, do not bother to listen
- politics, office politics is the best part, everyone gossips against everyone, you cannot hide and you cannot be nice to everyone. why? because politics is supported by the management
