Pros

There are good opportunities to be a real global person/employee in this company. You can be anywhere in the world any time.

Cons

What they do in kuala lumpur financial hub is definitely called discrimination. %100 SAME job description, %100 SAME job title, every thing done is same, location is same, even the grade is same, but but but they create a line in salary that is COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON YOUR PASSPORT. Yes passport, even not on where you were last working, or you where you were previously.. JUST YOUR PASPPORT. So even though everything else is completely but completely same, your colleague can earn even double or more compared to you just because of his/her passport. Even because of passport/nationality he/she can earn more than his/her manager. This is everywhere in the world called DISCRIMINATION. I even don't talk about all the details about how Kuala Lumpur financial is UNprofessional. I have to write a book on this.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
