      A personal touch in a large sprawling corporation

      Full stack developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - High employer engagement, and management that seems genuinely committed to maintaining the quality of life for its workers and balancing their personal needs and commitments against the company's goal - Many large, decentralised projects with architecture spread out over many things, so the opportunity to learn a lot of about scaling, and the things involved in big projects - Emphasis on learning and upskilling internally with unlimited access to Udemy and LinkedIn Learning - Opportunity for further development into more technically focused roles, or project/people management topics

      Cons

      Too much to do. Staffed across multiple projects, there is a lot of time lost due to context-switching and the many meeting involved in an Agile methodology The KL hub wants to adopt an agile workflow, but there is varying levels of maturity, so can seem jarring switching across different projects, and sometimes feel that members are not always aware of why the process is supposed to assist Can feel pressured into participating in the the KL office's many 'engagement' initiatives despite already being overwhelmed or bogged down by too much work related to main responsibilities and duties Organisational bloat and bureaucracy, typical of a company this size Benefits are good, but not on par with some other large MNCs offering similar jobs in KL Teams are often geographically spread across Asia, America and Europe, so timezone compromise is necessary on occasion to manage meetings (for Asia, that means staying up at night on occasion for important calls or Town Halls)
