RecommendsNeutral OutlookI have been working at Piktochart full-time
Pros
The people are amazing, and the company has big plans to try to continue to grow.
Cons
If you're not in the HQ office in Penang, working as a remote employee is a 2nd-class experience. There are cultural and communications breakdowns.
Advice to Management
Institute more processes and guidelines for clear and constant communication between all teams and all employees. Just having Slack isn't enough.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Piktochart full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
1. Treat the employees like humans. We make mistakes, we can improve. They recognize this and give chance to everyone to make a change. It is result based and they honestly help when needed
2. Dev team is filled with smart people who are opinionated but humble. Very easy to communicate ideas.
3. A lot of confidence and trust in employees. I can see people take this seriously as they have respect for the office and the founders
4. Regular and approachable leaders in the team make it a breeze to collaborate
5. Focus on company growth but they also have people growth as part of their plan.
6. Refreshing professionalism most of the time.
7. Benefits are top notch in my opinion. I love their EPF option specially.Cons
1. Maybe too democratic sometimes
2. Maybe also needs to be more ambitious to make it a notch more exciting to work
3. They are still figuring the remote thing out, but shout out to them for trying to make it work.Advice to Management
Great job in people area founders :-). You are amazing people and I wish you the very best. I hope more Malaysian companies copy your way of treating people. The world will be a better place.
