Pros

- People are nice in general; - Good benefits and market conform salary but not as competitive as before; - Nice working environment, especially in BE (sports centre and swimming pool); - Good work/life balance.

Cons

- Young people are underpaid and older people overpaid. This explains why the average working age is relatively high and many young people do not stay; - No incentive to work hard because it's simply not rewarded. This results in too many people doing the bare minimum and the best and brightest elements leaving the company; - Limited growth opportunities; - Absurd appraisal system. Mid year and year end reviews are a joke. Just a collective waste of time. The majority of the bonus pool go to a happy few: the Execs and their acolytes; - HR is really poor; - Too much middle management that adds little to no value; - Very political company. Not meritocratic. Rampant favouritism. - Too many changes and too much instability.

Pros

Genuinely a global leader. Be prepared to be exposed to a lot information/data.

Cons

Lacklustre middle management with minimal or zero skills (life, career, etc.) resulting in opinion lead management regardless of the number of courses attended. Visibility is far more important than doing a good job, or doing the right thing for the members or your peers/team, or actually delivering results. Never have an opinion and god for bid you foolishly express it.

Dramatic Over WFO Policy

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and slow paced

Cons

Company still believes that WFO would give better collaborations between coworkers. Being too dramatic on the attendance to the office for 2days WFO policy. Passive aggressive email to threaten on monitoring the attendance of each staff to the office and disciplinary measures will be required. Am I in school? My teams are majority in other countries, coming to the office to collaborate only in Teams. This leads to making the staff seem not trustworthy on their productivity. As some are working within teams that are from different timeline, everything was crumb into evening meetings which always dragged because everyone is trying to chase everyone that are working in different time zone which mostly are in Malaysia we are about to clock out. Staff wanting to WFH should not be an issue. As long as they show up few times a month.
