Pros

Good and friendly Malay collegues.

Cons

Environment: - Mix gender washroom - no hygiene, lack of privacy especially for female employees. - Pantry with ants. Management: Yes, the company is growing, the super micromanagement style is growing faster. - Provide misleading information during interview. Joining the company felt like stepping onto a chaotic pirate ship. - Managers distrust employees and don't forgive small mistakes. - Love to make easy things complicated. - Scold you first, then tell you to ask questions if you don't understand. - Minor mistake can cause few hours of very suffocated chat, feels like being in primary school - No formal documents (fsd & brd) to refer for module enhancement, they only ask you to refer user guide. - Miscommunication between HR and managers = Your fault. - HR is quite unprofessional - Hardworking to monitor CCTV to compare office attendance

Pros

Working at Phillip Capital has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. The company strikes a rare balance between entrepreneurial energy and institutional stability. Leadership has a clear, long-term vision, and you can genuinely feel the momentum as the firm continues to grow and evolve in smart, strategic ways. What stands out the most is the collaborative culture. Departments like Operations, Compliance, Accounting, Technology, and Execution work closely together, and there's a strong sense of shared purpose. You're not just a number here—your voice is heard, your ideas matter, and you're encouraged to take initiative. The work-life balance is excellent, which is refreshing in the financial services industry. The flexibility, support, and hybrid work environment is a place where people can truly thrive both professionally and personally. If you're looking for a place where you can make a real impact, grow your career, and work with great people, Phillip Capital is a fantastic choice. I'm proud to be part of a firm that's going places—and doing it the right way.

Cons

As a growing firm, some internal processes are still being refined. It’s not a place where everything is already perfectly structured—but that also means there’s room to help shape those processes. Certain tools and systems could use modernization, though there’s clear effort underway to make improvements.
