Pros

The friendly environment of this place makes it's more easy to transition, with the caveat that you do not rock the boat at present, current employees do not see you as a threat and you can adapt into the culture ASAP.

Cons

If you are a non-Bumi, career progression will be a problem. Another thing is many of the senior management like yes men, so if you're not and are not willing to take any s**t from them, this is not the place for you. Another thing is that there are many old timers who hold on to legacies, dretrimental to both the companies and work motivation of workers.

Pros

Higher pay than market, good benefits, can be quite laid back at times.

Cons

1. Lack of cultural diversity. Full of Malays who sometimes don't converse in English even when there are overseas vendors in the meeting. Even when recruiting, they have a certain % of Malay candidates that they need to reach before prioritising other races, regardless of the person's skills. 2. Not the best place for growth. The whole time I was here I had a lot of seniors telling me that this is a 'retirement company', and I felt it when I had a lot of initiatives that I wanted to do for Celcom products but nobody is willing to support or drive them even with a concrete business case. Most top management are too comfortable with where they are now.
