Pros

Pretty laid back especially if you are good at drawing boundaries and taichi. Good work life balance. Good career opportunities if the bosses likes you.

Cons

Full of boomers ready to retire, especially in Engineering. They treat women like their private secretaries (arrange group lunch e.g. for farewell, raise form, write protocols, write SOPs) meanwhile they sit at their desk and take a nap. The majority of SLT is made of Malaysian PRs. You dont even think about WFH. They like to boast they are automated. Industry 4.0 lah, lights off lah (meaning the shopfloor has no human). Thats been the talk for as long as I can remember but to this day still need a lot of manual work. They have a lot of dreams but no actual technical expertise to pull it off, and no capital. Bad career opportunity if you met a manager who dont care to promote you/ you offended some boss. Remember this is a Malaysian MNC. Pay very sad. I got paid 4k as senior. Variable bonus barely 1 month
