      Pros

      Great company to work for. Very respectful of employees and good benefits.

      Cons

      Although changing progressively, since a Japanese company, driven by concensus which slows down making decisions.

      I don't see myself growing here

      Pros

      I guess it's efficient, since no one goes out of the office the whole day.. cause it's a factory in Bangi here. So, if your job happens to be posted here, you will follow the hours that everyone follows. People here, especially the Japanese are always on time for everything, which is good. Colorful presentation slides. I mean very colorful and full of drawings everywhere. Parking is free. Clinics provided in house. There is an ATM here too.

      Cons

      It's Bangi. This place here in KL, Malaysia, has nothing. You won't care anyway because nobody goes out for lunch. I practically go down to the canteen, which has lousy food, have my 20mins lunch and back to the work place. There is no gym! The workplace is boring and nothing fancy. A lot of people work long hours till the night. Even if you go overseas for a business/work trip, weekends, nights, mornings are considered working hours and you are expected to come in the very next working day! Too many beautiful slides which are not necessary. No nice coffee! No healthy food or snacks. If you have a life after working hours, you don't wanna work here trust me. Communication is very difficult especially if you are working with the Japanese. Culture here isn't fun at all. Sometimes you get weird expectations, which is something out of your scope of work. Anyway, I have resigned to do my own stuff cause I don't see myself growing here at all and it has been 5 months now. Thanks Sony!
