AIA Malaysia (Insurance)

Heavy workloads which could be very stressful

Since the base moved to Kuala Lumpur, the journey from my house take long hours since I live in Cyberjaya

Have to work during weekends and 24/7 availability for client's needs

Zero support to acquire network or leads

some of the policies and structure are still outdated, but compared to other companies - its already decent

- overtime when projects are tight on timelines - team is important for the working experience - slow to promote

no cons, a great place to work

Slow, complicated processes, things will not happen if you want really want them

Work life balance is less

1) IT executive leadership is mostly disoriented and keep wasting funds on short term goals of 3 years and don’t really finish most proejcts they start and initiate 2)Most projects get abandoned after spending millions of dollars and written off and people working in the project are fired of the project discontinued abruptly 3) There are multiple marketing and all have no real synergy and all work on their own. 4) There is very rare chance to get internal job posting 5)Benefits once agreed at the joining are final and no promotions and very limited salary hikes (example : hike of 800HKD ~ per year) 6)HR only talks at the time of hiring and exit interview. They take exit interview but it’s just a name sake waste of time for staff. 7)AIA don’t promote leaders. They hire outside managers who are hardly skilled and they demotivate the high performance staff and force them to quit and they hire their choice of staff from their old circle 8)AIA is only interested in cheap workers from low cost zones. HK is no longer a valued city 9) There are many international staff but majority of the population is local and at times there could be traces if racial discrimination of ethnic minority group. In businesse calls where international staff are dialed in the local language is used by default. 10) Waste of skills and experience and mostly get demotivated
