Pros

The only notable advantage of working at Teleperformance Malaysia was a slightly higher salary on specific projects, though this is not consistent across the company. The work itself was manageable, but it came with no real opportunities for career growth.

Cons

The negatives, however, far outweighed the positives. Management was ineffective and highly biased, with recognition based more on favoritism and personal relationships than on actual merit. When I first joined, employees were entitled to only 10 days of annual leave, and this was increased only after the merger with Majorel, as the company was forced to align with better benefits to prevent mass resignations. The HR department was by far the weakest link: unresponsive, manipulative, and evasive. Requests for support were constantly redirected in a “ping-pong” fashion between individuals and departments, with no ownership or accountability. Employees were instructed to use a generic HR email, which often went unanswered, and attempts to meet HR in person were dismissed. Even a simple matter like acknowledging my resignation took them over a week. High turnover is a constant issue, with employees leaving frequently and projects closing left and right. Overall, the environment was toxic, whether dealing with project-level operations, Teleperformance management, or HR itself. Having worked in different organizations before, I can confidently say this was one of the worst employment experiences I have encountered.

Pros

Global company with contracts with many different high-profile companies. They definitely don't want to let go of people. Will try everything they can to try to get you on a position that will keep your pay if you switch contracts. I started working in an office and transitioned to a work from home position. They handled that transition for me very well, but I do feel lucky as many other employees had different experiences than me. Very inclusive team!

Cons

Fast pace environment that does not necessarily feel organized all the time. Even though I thrive in fast pace work, some contracts are managed better than others. Feels more like a temp agency than a proper workplace with so many contracts. If the company we are contracted with does not want our employees anymore, they can cut people at any time. This will trigger TP to transfer you to a new project/contract. Working in the office was quite the drama at the time. If you work in an office, best to focus on yourself and keep your head down to avoid drama.
