Pros

chinese company standard benefits and salary convenient location

Cons

They constantly push us to work longer hours and weekends just to meet unrealistic deadlines. There's a constant feeling of pressure and stress that makes it hard to even focus on ur work. I've had weeks where I've worked over 70 hours just to try and meet a deadline that was set by someone who clearly had no idea how much work was actually involved. And when we don't meet those expectations, they're quick to gaslight us into thinking it's our fault. I've seen people get publicly shamed in meetings for not hitting their numbers, and then the execs will act like they're being "helpful" by offering to give them more work. It's insane. I will not recommend this company to anyone, especially not to other developers. It's a toxic work environment where you'll be overworked, underpaid, and always gaslit and guilt tripped. Save urself the stress and look for a company that actually values its employees.

Pros

- Good pay - Monthly celebrations

Cons

Completely unaware of what is happening kinda management. HR is a joke where they have completely no idea on whats going on. Income tax here is paid on the lowest bracket with LHDB which means that during the e-failing YOU WILL DEFINATELY NEED TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE. When questioned no proper answer was given that I had to reach out to LHDN myself. If you cant speak Chinese, better dont even apply here since everyone communicates here in Chinese and I dont mean communicate in pantry but communicate in official meetings where they expect you to understand the meeting context via a built in translator on their communication platform (lark) No leeway for WFH or Hybrid but employees in Kl eco city can work hybrid. Only the ones from Menara Southpoint and ICS HQ have to come work everyday.
