Pros

High starting salary, friendly Colleagues, very technical & engineering (But disclaimer, read the cons).

Cons

WORST COMPANY EVER This company operates under an extremely toxic environment fueled by fear, micromanagement, and psychological abuse. The management team, led by a highly volatile Managing Director, fosters a culture of intimidation rather than collaboration. There is no support system—if you speak up or try to help others, you’ll likely become the next target. Employees are subjected to constant blame-shifting, vague instructions, and poorly structured workflows. There are no proper KPIs, yet salary and allowance deductions are made arbitrarily. Project briefings are non-existent, and unclear expectations often result in being faulted for things beyond your control. One of the most disturbing practices is the normalisation of retroactively adding punitive clauses to existing contracts, seemingly designed to instill fear, shift full accountability onto employees, and trap them in a cycle of silence and submission. This is not just unprofessional—it borders on unethical. The Managing Director is notoriously degrading, insulting, and emotionally abusive, with a long track record of inappropriate remarks, including threats, public shaming, and even disturbing suggestions related to self-harm. The company controls basic entitlements like leave, disregards achievements, and fosters a culture where throwing others under the bus is normalized to avoid personal blame. There is no recognition, no appreciation, and no mental safety. Overtime is expected but not compensated, and data and documentation are so poorly centralised that they actively hinder productivity. There is no standard of work here—just pressure to deliver, without context, guidance, or clarity. You're often excluded from client discussions, yet expected to produce work that meets unknown expectations. You don’t learn—you survive. During interviews with other companies, I found that many hiring managers were shocked by the lack of proper project involvement, exposure, and structure in my past work—highlighting just how damaging this experience was to my career. There’s no consistency, no growth, and certainly no mentorship. The environment rewards silence, fear, and obedience—not performance or initiative. It’s a complete waste of time, and anyone looking to start their career would be far better off joining a structured program like PROTÉGÉ, where actual development is prioritized. Unless you are fully versed in labour law and mentally prepared to endure a hostile environment, this company will damage your morale, well-being, and confidence. Proceed only if you understand the cost.

The most redflag company ever

Pros

They offer high salary but pls take note that if they state the salary is RM4500, The actual salary is only RM4000. Another 500 is the bonus for attendance. For new joiners, if you MC, EL or AL, RM500 will gone.

Cons

Got my own reason why i said this is the most red flag company ever. they got cctv literally everywhere. there are hundreds of cctv. note that their cctv is a really high end, they will zoom into your pc to check if you doing work or not. no privacy at all. cctv also can detect your voice. if you are caught chatting with mate not related to work, you will get a warning and 500 from your salary will gone.. the only safe place in this company is their toilet. other than that, this company is a scam. your job scope in official letter will never be your job scope. you need to cover everything due to short staff. no one can stay any longer in this company. if you are malay and muslim, avoid this company at all. i dont want to be racist but you will know why. this company gave me so much ick.

Pros

High starting salary for fresh grad. Helpful colleagues. Good place to learn/delve into the industry quickly.

Cons

Verbal abuse by higher ups. Threatening working environment. No OT but expected to stay back outside of working hours without any payment. No good leadership. LOVE to threaten the employees to cut their salary / allowance. If you like to be a slave to your work then this company is perfect for you.
