Pros

1. Allow to work from home 2. have proper onboarding process 3. RM300 allowances monthly

Cons

1. Small office in Bangsar South 2. Project Based company 2. This company will throw you into project, and let you sink or swim, typical body shopping business 3. Management will not care, even if you sink in the project, and you should take it as "learning experience" 4. Project is extremely toxic with client demanding constant changes, and even if that means working thru weekends and until midnight (no OT claimable) 5. As developer, there's nothing to learn, as project doesn't demand quality, but rather speed and speed, so you won't learn about proper code writing, just deliverables. 6. Super long working hours 8am - 1am, twice a week 7. 8am - 8pm, standard working hours

Pros

Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

Cons

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time
