Pros

You can strive and do your best quite easily, freedom to explore particularly for the ANZ region. Ideas were listened to and able to trial

Cons

The MDs were pretty terrible tbh. 3 MDs. 2 of them are great friends, the MD i had was the outcast and received terrible treatment. Hence whoever under my boss had little say of promotion. Approvals also had to go through the other two. So get on their bad books and you're done for. Very niche as well in terms of products.

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.
