Pros

Heavy emphasis on continuous improvement, perceived large budget for the Kuala Lumpur office since it was being expanded to be a global service hub.

Cons

Very messy reporting lines. I ended up managing several teams, all of which had separate reporting lines to the foreign HQ, hence my performance evaluation was extremely vague. High uncertainty, had to do alot of work (about 3x) that was not recognised because 2/3rds were not part of the portfolio of the main reporting line. Management are not supportive of employee education/development: even though HR policy allows for employees to apply for funding for masters programmes after 6 months in the company, the policy is not practised in reality.
