Pros

1) Parking allowance of RM 300 per month. 2) Hiring referral fee of RM 3,000 to RM 7,000 (depending on the role level). Got paid once the new hire starts on their first day, without the need to pass probation. 3) They do offer signon bonus to entice you to join and buy you out of your previous company, even if your notice period is 2 - 3 months. 4) Leave replacement when Public Holiday is fall on Saturday

Cons

1) Think twice if you don’t understand Chinese, especially if you can’t read. Most documents are in Chinese, and your lead only speaks Chinese. You’ll often need someone to translate for you. 2) This is a result-driven company, bright career if you're willing to spend most of your time writing impressive weekly reports to impress your bosses. 3) The office location is awful, KL Gtower with poorly maintained elevators and heavy crowds. 4) Although they claim this is an international office, it still follows a typical Chinese corporate culture. You’ll mostly be working with 80% China software engineers who don’t speak English. 5) The salary is around average or slightly above the market rate, but expect long working hours (9 am to 9 pm, five days a week). No worklife balance 6) Some coworkers are mainly focused on hard-selling the company benefits on social media, as they’re paid well for hiring referrals. 7) There’s an internal timesheet system where you’ll need to log your hours to help the company track the time spent on each project. [Weekly] 8) Most of the MNC(s) offer 18+ days Annual Leave , Ant Malaysia only got 15 or 16 days.
