Pros
1. Fully remote work with flexible arrangements. 2. Generally positive working environment with understanding colleagues. 3. 13th-month salary is provided. 4. Minimal micromanagement. 5. Good work-life balance.
Cons
1. Overall salary levels are very low and below market (underpaid). 2. It is known that some senior roles are paid the same as junior-level salaries, with senior positions receiving below MYR 4,000. 3. Salary growth relies heavily on promotion; however, promotion-related increments are relatively small, averaging around 10%. If your starting salary is already low, it can be difficult to catch up with market rates. 4. Annual salary increments are minimal (around 1–2%) and highly dependent on the company’s financial performance. In some years, increments may not be given at all due to “financial reasons.” Annual bonus is low, typically not even half a month’s salary. 3. Expectations are high despite the below-market compensation. 4. Remote work and flexibility are often used to justify lower pay. 5. Salary offers tend to be low-balled, even when candidates already state a modest expected salary. 6. Limited opportunities for growth and skill development. Upskilling relies heavily on online courses, many of which are not very relevant or helpful for the actual role. 7. Very low remote & meal allowance provided.
