AIA Malaysia (Insurance) Employee Reviews & Ratings

Not much flexibility and there can be some red tape.

Instead of working for bosses, have to do admin for the entire team as members will ask you for help.

many policy restrictions, meetings, approvals many useless and duplicated documents need to prepare uncleared team R&R use old technology main blocker is LIS

Not applicable as aia focus highly on employee value proposition

Lack of opportunities for promotion after middle management.

Management collude Treat underlings like garbage and blame them for everything Singapore Dept is absolutely toxic. Workload is insane and training is absolutely garbage.

Lack of knowledge growth for your future

Fast pace and local culture

Endless working hours Bad culture, serious hierarchy Not inclusive to expats The team does not leave work until 8 or 9pm every day, and on weekends, they also expect you to work. If you do not answer the phone / reply text instantly after working hours, they will consider you as an irresponsible employee. In short, they expect you to be available 24/7 without any time for rest.

No Career development and works like robot

Nothing to report about this

Busy as hell and OT a lot

Stressful environment but everywhere is stressful

based on Business Unit/team. the working arrangement can be different

Might get a little political

No structure management especially from agency

Need to liaise with different BU, multitasking

IT support could be a bit better

Stakeholder management can be tough.

Had to put in 70 hours of overtime on my last month of working in that company Last working day was 3 weeks ago but has yet to receive my pay, don’t know how will I pay my bills if they continue to delay my pay without sending me any correspondence - no career growth as employee recognition are non existent or they won’t promote you unless a long enough time has lapsed (an employee of over 15 years is just an assistant manager with low authority in the office) - low basic pay (RM2,500) - frequent overtime - repetitive work

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur which is quite congested

Too much workload as analyst

It can be challenging to gain prospects

Need to meet the target of company

Very long working hours and high pressure

High level of stress because you need to run after numbers and if you happen to join an agency that’s so lousy, yeah you will be like me. No guidance and on your own

Till now have no idea

Workers does not communicate well with each other. Colleague A might have idea A, while Colleague B having idea B, both asking you to follow them. This hits hard for a junior employee. Old-school working style, most employees run after 30 minutes of working times. OT often happend due to many new application updates (Short OT). Not sure why, I am required to serve a few bosses at one time, Boss A mainly gives me tasks, Boss B sometime reviews my tasks, while I directly reported to Boss C etc.

there is no cons about this compan

- nothing so bad if you like the job and coworker

relatively low salary, difficult to have opportunity for promotion

Senior management in Digital+ IT is classless, horrific and has the worst leadership qualities. Makes you wonder what group EXCO is doing on a day to day basis. You go speak to people on various departments and they will tell you that they’re under constant stress and pressure primarily because of senior management who just does whatever they want to highlight themselves. Even if that means that their own team members are put under the bus at every turn. Seemingly to assure that the company is progressive, unqualified women who has no leadership, team management and people management skills are constantly promoted. Wonder if the management has ever considered what the teams under “these women leaders” are fairing. Or maybe they just don’t care as long as it can seem as if the company is being progressive. The only reason that many employees are staying in the organisation is due to the salary. The moment they find a better position they leave. I’m glad i did anyway because this place just takes away your sanity and joy to work

I can't think of any

-Clients may contact you out of working hours

Bad direct reporting manager in KL team

Low incentive as compared to rival companies

Can feel restricted because of size and nature of the business

Chasing KPI each quarter. Lower pay.

Over time for each employee

There's nothing special to be concerned about.

A lot of work done

Need to work so hard and no basic salary.

Not clear career path and sometimes has political

- Base salary is too low

Runs incredibly lean, fast growth has meant that some systems are behind

Nothing at the time being

No room for improvement and development

Have to hunt customers daily and create a pipeline

You have to be motivated and have self discipline

Flexible working hours across cross-sectional teams can prove to be a challenge for new bloods joining the industry. The job scope requires from an individual strategic thinking and effective decision-making during uncertainty when consultants face clients in an ever competitive financial landscape.
