Pros

Ahead of the local market in terms of remuneration. Good exposure for various banking projects.

Cons

Obviously Malaysian market is not their focus. The MD for Malaysia changed 3 times in few years. It gives you the impression that Malaysian office is isolated and neglected on its own. All corporate services are based out of one country which is lack of transperancy and accountability. Travel, Account, Finance, IT, and HR are all managed together. It's good for cost saving but bad for local employee engagement especially when you are planning adhoc traveling during the weekend and requires IT support. Last one might be natural to consultancy but the Malaysian consultant felt they are more like a service centre for rest of APAC. Colleagues from other countries may request works to be delivered(adhoc if you are on bench) but no sharing/feedback/updates on the works delivered as if they are totally cut off after their ideas being considered.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
