shortbreaks, healthcare,not enough parking spaces

Work hours can be long

ONE MAN SHOW CAN CREATE CRISIS ANY TIME

No benefits. Nothing not PF and no job security.

More, Traveling and.meet and negotiate with people

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.

They don’t give more holidays

Not much to say. Quite political.

Former Managers would overwork the sales reps

High volume of work, hierarchical

Challenges adapting to ever changing media landscape, but Astro has strategies to address this.

Increment kind of on the lower side.

Too much politics, and if you do a good job, they pile up responsibilities on you where you cannot focus.

its come with pressure as well

Heavy workload and hard to deal with certain people internally and externally

No cons to the company

lack of work life balance at times

Have not found any yet

Lack of team building culture.

silos between division as the company is large

Cant think of any cons

Workload is crazy, no OT, not double pay

Job insecurity, you don’t know when will be your turn

they train you like a robot

learn a lot but not worth it

Can improve our language fluency

lack of progression as most people stay in the same job for a long time

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

I can not think of any down sides to working there.

Pay & Career Growth is quite poor

Lack of career progression Inefficient style of working Lots of politics (but lots of juice too, if ya'know what I mean)
