Pros

The salary is okay, slightly more than other companies with the same job scope, benefits are the same as other companies, medical, optic and dental. Great colleagues, I'm lucky because my Team Leader is super nice.

Cons

Strict company policy, lateness is taken very seriously cannot even be one minute late everyone will be on you. The KPI is super hard to achieve, I'd say I'm a competent employee I always have been, it's never been a problem for me to achieve KPI at my previous jobs I's used to be in the top 3 performers at my previous jobs. But I've worked here for a year and never once I got the KPI because it is almost impossible. Bonus is very little as their standards are very high, so unless you are extremely good at your job you can only expect half of your monthly salary for your yearly bonus. Also you work on shifts, includes night shifts 10:30pm to 7:30am but allowance is only RM200

Pros

The pay is competitive, and the overall compensation package is fairly good.

Cons

If you are not Chinese, career advancement can be significantly more difficult, especially when it comes to promotion opportunities and visibility with leadership. I previously worked in HR compliance at ByteDance. While large-scale layoffs may happen less frequently than at some other companies, the company may use many unusual or legally questionable approaches to pressure employees to resign or justify termination. Employees should be very careful, understand company policies, and keep written records of important conversations.
