AIA Malaysia (Insurance)

totally different industry, hard to cope

Clients are often demanding and unfriendly

Unprofessional Manager: 1. Need to spoon feeding even the location of files and applications. 2. Fails to communicate clear expectations for outcomes, constantly request for simple deck or draft 3. Takes credit 4. Less support 5. Directly assign complicated and difficult tasks, only check, monitor and validate. 6. Fails to provide proper knowledge transfer, leaving to try and error every time 7. Will not involving in any testing or documentations, only responsible for running the project. 8. Feel like doing personal assistance's job.

- Sometimes work pass working hours - Fixed 4D WFO 1D WFH, should have flexibility based on role eg. WFH if not customer-facing role

Cyberjaya not very good place

Over working time , hard to get client , use your own net working .

Higher management does not care about below

good but i dont now any vision

The senior managers are outdated bullies who look down on the rest of the team as being beneath them. The worst being the SEO level managers. There is no clear structure in the Group Office team. Women are promoted on practically a daily basis so that the company looks progressive even though the majority promoted are not skilled or experienced enough to manage a department. One woman during my time with AIA was promoted based on the fact that she and her husband, who is an high ranking political figure in Singapore are friends with the Group CEO. Everyone smiles and nods when asked if everything is ok. If you say otherwise you are fired! Racism is rife!! The worst being the Singaporean workers! They hate the HK employees and hate any one who is European not that there are many of those as the Chinese are firing as many white people as they can! Every single black person bar one has been fired and replaced with a Chinese person. The Indian workers are all on tender hooks and totally paranoid about their positions as they too are victims of open racism, but if asked they would always deny in fear of being fired. Nothing about this company is positive!

- Terrible management - Terrible work/life balance (Expected to work on Saturdays even though it is listed as optional) - OT pay has to be pre-approved, even if an unreasonable amount of work to be completed by end of day was given. - No opportunity for career advancement. - Low starting pay
