Pros

It's hard to write pros because I genuinely don't feel happy and burnout while staying here. - Network of super-fun colleagues. - Good opportunities to work with big local brands. - Location is very convenient, if you know uptown Damansara then you know what's around there.

Cons

It was honestly one of the worst experiences I have had in my career. These cons really depend on the individual but these are mine: - No recognition of your work. - Work/life balance tends to be largely your own responsibility to manage and own. - You gotta be a workaholic for the management to adore you. - Get calls at the oddest timing like 10pm or 8am on a weekend to do work. - Bad at managing workload, which leads to giving last min work which most of the time is due on the hour or latest by the EOD. - Not a creative setting office (Ever seen the show called "The Office"?). - The devices provided are outdated which delays the work drastically. - Office amenities are at the bare min, don't expect like most other companies they provide pantry food, a place to release your stress, a proper meeting room and etc well they don't here. - Just like other companies, they love to shove politics and their own beliefs down their employee's throats, which I have never liked. I feel like we each should feel comfortable where we work and not have these things forced on us.

Pros

Everyone worked with trust, respect, and a genuine desire to help each other grow.

Cons

At first, the boss comes across as nice and friendly in front of everyone. But once you speak one-on-one, the story changes. He often flips his words, denies things he previously said, and changes the narrative. It makes you feel confused and second guess yourself. He manages people through fear and control. He wants things done his way only, and if you don’t follow, he will look for mistakes and pin the blame on you. There’s a strong control-freak attitude, and it doesn’t feel safe to speak up. My advice: don’t blindly trust verbal promises, always get things in writing. Company wise, there aren’t many benefits and the setup feels quite traditional. Work-life balance is poor. Weekends often get taken up, late nights are common, and “urgent” jobs appear last minute with no extra pay, no incentive, and no replacement support. Workload keeps piling up while the team remains understaffed. It’s mentally and physically draining. Even when work direction is agreed, it can suddenly change at the last minute, and you’re still expected to deliver on time. If you can’t, the blame falls on your capability instead of the poor planning. Management often says they are open to feedback and improvement, but in the end, decisions always go back to the boss’s original thinking. Nothing really changes.
