      Pros

      - Consider good work-life balance - Best place to work especially for senior SE level above position. - MSC Status company - On job training provides - Most of the senior SE willing to teach you a lot.

      Cons

      - Salary is the lowest if compare to same batch of Software Engineer in Malaysia. - HR not so efficient and responsive. - Yes, MSC status company(says only), employees wont get any benefit from there. - You wont get approve of the training if there is not related to your current project, just because of the cutting cost reason, but your boss always ask you to enhance yourself.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Open culture 2. Can learn how to work with the global clients 3. Onsite opportunity but limited to 6 months most of the time and on rotaltional basis 4. Fun at work - you can strike work life balance as there is not much presuree from the client side (Internal client) 5. Good for laterals as projects come without much fuss and project monitoring is not required that much; good company to settle down 6. Good brand name

      Cons

      1. Most of the points posted in the other reviews 2. No good salary hike - basically appraisal system is not good; perception, good relation based appraisal 3. No good learnings -technical and others - which can help you switch 4. Not good for freshers as you wont learn much
