Pros

Colleagues in the department are the best.

Cons

1. Worst Head of Department - always demotivate you especially once she starts to aim at you, she will aim at you at every single things you do, no matter you did it right or wrong. She will make everything difficult for you. She will also ask other staff not to talk to you. She will indirectly want you to tender resignation letter. When it comes to exit meeting with auditee, she will only kept quiet at the background and not giving any inputs nor help the staff, instead you will get scolded for not doing well in the exit meeting. Never give any guidance. You will learn nothing from her. Always act like she is open for discussion on anything, but when we do, she will only want it to be her way. 2. HR - they do not admit their mistakes, instead, they accused you. 3. Management - listen and believe one side of the story from HR and its Departments' Heads. 4. Low salary 5. High turnover in the department, mainly due to the Head of Department. (of course, many of us gave her the reason that we found a better offer, but in fact, we know the real reasons behind)

Pros

Good bonus depend on your appraisal, yearly will have around May and December bonus. Medical not so good, you still need take outside medical card if want to feel comfortable.

Cons

Promotion is very hard if you are not chinese. I’m a performer staff who rated Good in appraisal. I can said this because I’m the one who been driving the team, my boss not very good at managing team as he mostly will do job what he remember and prefer only. Most of the staff who stay here only for the bonus but regret at the end, as you will get advice from senior staff from various department to jump into another company. My advice, is join this company if you are in managing level as you will get comfortable but no career progress after that. Consider this is a place to join before you retired. Don’t join for senior executive or below level, as you will get depressed for slow career growth. I only promoted once in this 9 years serving here. Boss will squeeze you kaw2. If you are Malay understood this you will work 3 times harder than Chinese because the portion of 3 you do is equal to 1 what Chinese been doing. Please understand that I’m not racist, as I have many close Chinese friends which they are also agree with this.
