Ensign Infosecurity (Malaysia)

Work tends to get overwhelming.

Flat hierarchy in my department

none i have experienced during my tenure

No career advancement overloading management refused to hire more

High stress environment Need to be highly flexible as demands and expectations can change quickly

Poor Management, no career path

Work life balance? It depends on your project and direct superior. When it comes to getting you to help out in other projects, management will use "One Ensign" motto. But when you asked management about literally anything at all, "eh, i don't know that team very well" Many things look good on the outside, with a lot of promises, but it always ended up with disappointments so long as you're not part of the Royal Family. Certain bosses will tell everyone how goos you are, but during appraisals, you will be hit hard by the following: - Taking initiative to improve the process. "it's your job" - Taking up courses to improve skillset. "how old are you? your age might have problems learning new things" - Working to progress forward with company. "I just need you to continue doing what you're doing" So much for career growth opportunities. it also has a test lab should you need to improve your knowledge and troubleshoot issues encountered during production. but in reality, you will get a reply saying a server or environment is already set up by certain colleague, expect you to try it there instead. fair enough. but the existing set up has GPO locked down in almost everything to a certain it's almost impossible to troubleshoot anything at all. even if you managed to set up one VM after weeks of email exchange, someone from the Royal Family just comes in, tells you that they need the resources, and will delete your VM(s) anyway.

Salary below market rate Can get boring sometimes and repetitive. Not really challenging

High workload and unevenly distributed
