Ensign Infosecurity (Malaysia) Employee Reviews & Ratings

Delegation of duty is not clear. Culture of ‘One Ensign’ is BS when the managers draw very thick lines.

Lack of manpower results in more work being given.

but depend on nature of job can get stressful and tiring and weekend also working.

Promotion will be slower if you are working offsite. Length of work spent at hq versus client site will be biased. Promotion is based on trust rapport build up with amount of face time in hq with higher ups.

Might have some PDPA issues due to company being in the cybersecurity industry

Project Information expected not to be there for you

Controlled Environment, company is run by leaders with interesting directions. Emotional sales leadership. Rejection culture.

Lack of manpower, alot of shifting to other projects where it needs man power.

Maybe deployed to different locations

Got deployed everywhere. Not a place to stay for long as there is limited things to learn here.

Micro managing by manager Work culture

Workload can be unbearable sometimes Many clients to juggle So-so base salary Less headcount to manage the project Other all ok

Slow progression and low increment

no cons. learn at own pace

Not much cons i think worth highlighting

Employee benefits are very poor.

No cons, depends on what project you are doing.

under paid when first join the company, different roles and boss will block your way in promotion

My manager is excellent, but the one on top of him likes to micro. Were like checked if we come to office even though there is an official work from home policy. overrides my own manager really bad.

There may be overtime if you cannot cope with client projects.

Company does not have overseas cohesion activities

Nothing as of now ya

Lack of Growth Lack of Learning Space

Night shift and day shift changes in 2 weeks which means u are forever changing yr sleep patterns. Long working hours , work 12 hours with only 1 hour break .......... there is no dinner break ... need to wait until end work 830pm then u can get yr dinner...... which means irregular sleeping patterns and always eating meals late ... i dont know how bad it will be for your health for long term wise .. .. prepare to stare at the computer for 11 hours ......

Too many political and also if you're in the senior level and someone higher than you don't like you they will silently kick you out , the politics is so bad there

2 month day/night shift switch

Fast pace and learning working environment.

- Managers are often friendly in person but speak negatively about employees to senior leadership behind their backs. - Layoffs are commonly handled by placing employees on a PIP with unrealistically high expectations, while not providing enough work or support to succeed. - The office environment is frequently loud and unprofessional, with constant talking, joking, and ongoing workplace drama. - The company outlook is poor, with recurring projects being taken away and given to other parties. - Poor pay increments and limited promotion opportunities.

Don't really care how you do it. Don't really work as a team

- swamped with projects, almost no time to teach newbies given the steep learning curve - not expecting hand-holding but leads/managers should be more proactive in setting realistic targets - too busy till it feels unapproachable to enquire issues

Bosses and Superiors are Professional bullies who are all out to make your life difficult. These are some of the Professional qualities they have. 1. Micro-management - Expect one to reach office on time, and OT frequently so their money paid to you are worth it. They will always be watching you secretly. At 6pm, you will see their heads popping out of their cubicles to check on you. 2. Unrealistic expectations - Expect you to do what they want without talking to you. They also expect you to complete tasks they're lazy to do in a very short time, and call it tests. 3. Bad Leadership - You will not be praised nor recognized for any outstanding work. Only criticisms and threats when they finally talk to you. The rest you can join to find out and experience first hand yourself

Put you in PIP for a course that may take you up to 1 year to study. only give you 2 months to take the Cert

Micro-managing No proper training for newcomers Rude manager Leaves you alone You are always alone! No support Expect you to be good in a blink of eye Pay is much lower than competitor and work load is intensive. High turnover rate

Company seems to be growing and expanding horizontally. Not much space or opportunity for career growth and promotion.

Despite being a young company, there aren't amenities such as foosball table, etc when I worked there. However, it's a trivial matter.

Unable to go to office if you are working in on-site

-Certain elitists that will look down on group of people and favoritism in the company is real. -Not from local university? Find somewhere else, certain elitists reject. -No proper guidance, even some does not even know what they are doing half the time. -Swamped with projects, almost no time to teach newbies given the steep learning curve. -Not expecting hand-holding but leads/managers should be more proactive in setting realistic targets instead of focusing on revenues. -Too busy till it feels unapproachable to enquire issues. -Expect you to be good in a blink of eye -Some questionable elitists up the hierarchy. I've seen third hand of a leader treating an employee with so much fake sincerity and also infamously known for that personality trait. -They know how to speak like they know what's going on but upon closer inspection, none of what they say makes any sense and makes other people do the work instead because they simply do not have the skill. -Strong politics, extreme favoritism. -Do not buy HR or anything they told you in the interview to trick you in. (training, mentorship, advancement) -Welcome to the Military.

- None that i can think of for now

- slow career progression if work here

Need to provide more exposure to industry needs

Hard to get promotion and no AWS

Recently changed CEO, changed too much of internal structure. Teams getting shuffled around, new VP is a micromanager and only wants to see certifications, not hiring replacements

Level 1 only, life depending on sla

No vision, soul, passion and direction. Worst company I had ever worked for.

Manpower resource constraints and ambitious

1. Despite the merger of the companies to be one ensign, some are still fixated on their old ways 2. What a mess. Foundations were not laid in correctly right from the start. Messy in almost all aspects such as data management and processes. 3. Constantly adding and changing processes. Such changes did not follow through the rightful approval process. It was more of 'implement first and then seek for approval'. Quite sketchy and unethical work behaviour but unfortunately quite common. 4. Some questionable leaders up the hierarchy. I've seen third hand of a leader treating an employee with so much disrespect and also infamously known for that personality trait. It is a wonder why this leader is still here and why were there no actions taken against this person. Nobody deserves to be treated that way. Then there's another leader whom encourages the team to be transparent and raise their concerns. Though each time a concern is being raised, this leader acknowledges but then proceeds to reject it and rejects any change. The other leaders (not to say all), in general are inefficient. They know how to speak like they know what's going on but upon closer inspection, none of what they say makes any sense and makes other people do the work instead. 5. When seeking for confirmations from other departments about a particular project, many times the replies are returned with a question. And then we go around asking team by team if they know anything about it. Though most often, it seems like nobody can give a concrete answer. It is a lot of 'i think' 'should be' 'i don't know'. 6. Too much workload. My team and I are always crying out for help but it's like everyone hears our cries but doesn't actually listen. Escalation of concerns doesn't go anywhere (refer to point 4) 7. Inefficient system. There needs to be a 1 system fits all for data management. Too many different systems used to accommodate different departments and teams. A system should be able to function as a tool to make a person's job easier. Instead, this system requires equally large amounts of manual work (it is a frustratingly dial-up-connection kind of slow)

Not really a con … the pace is fast and furious

Is a new brand and needs a lot of hard work and effort to build this brand up. If you are a person who just want to enjoy life, then this company is not for you.

Office politics, no training provided for new hire.

-Pay progression is low. -Management seem to always ask "who is our competitor?", when there are clear competitors with better pay packages. -Royal family management VS military coup, meaning you have to work with the Royal families whose blood closely knitted, or you work with a dictator. -A lack of talent is key areas. -*Learning curve may be too high in some job role, choose the correct job role for your skill set and skill level. -**Flexible working hours, but most of the time feels like 24/7. -Overloaded with lot of projects with a pay that doesn't match the workload. -Lack of communication with each department, especially day 1 and day 2 teams.
