This is a great company with great employees
There is no supervision to the managers
great benefits for all employees
need to know which department to go to
Friendly working environment and good salary
have to prepare to work long hours
Good perks and benefits , work life balance
Old school methods , need more time to see changes
The environment is good. The benefit is good. You get to learn lot of new things. U will learn to be independent and versatile
U have to be multitask and fast learner to compete. But its hard to get promotion. U may be in the same level for years
1) If you're good at sucking up to bosses, Astro is just the place for you! You will flourish and bloom even if you have no idea how to do your job! 2) The Pay (also depends on job level and who you are related to) 3) Benefits
1) Unfair performance reviews - despite achieving or surpassing targets, there will always be ANOTHER reason or excuse from HR on why a promotion will be declined or delayed for another 10 million years. Don't believe me? There are so many Astro staff that's been working tirelessly for more than 5 years and above and they still hold the same position. They are labeled as 'Antiques'. 2) Does not encourage Internal Promotions. Astro would rather hire external people with less industry knowledge (vs. internal staff who's more experienced + deserving), who then gets an 'Express Ticket' to a Manager role (AVP and above), some even gets immediate headcount to hire more newbies! Imagine how the more seasoned staff feels when this happens EVERY SINGLE TIME across ALL Depts! 3) Astro's HR Dept is the absolute worse. They are super clueless and do not give a damn about Staff's wellbeing at all. They claim to listen and understand grievances etc. But, at the end of the day, ALL of them have to go back to sucking up to respective bosses in order to save their own behinds. Oh and big big pay cheque.
Generally attracts good, fun, dynamic talent Relaxed dress code Benefits: meals, free parking, annual leave
Bureaucracy and processes High turnover rate and people seem jaded Experience of the company is highly determined by manager - there is no real 'culture' of employees that the company seems to really hire for nowadays No clear career progression
Good environment and exposure to new skills and knowledge
Parking is a hassle/nuisance. Not enough parking for staff.
Great opportunity to meet celebrities
Too fluid not consistent. Changes very frequent
