Great Eastern Life Assurance (M) Berhad

Expect to be exploited Company that practices non-empathic, and micro managing. Bias Pay for your own psychiatrist. Prefer to have no family commitments employee Loosely managed strategy and company growth. Calculative managers and non-emphatic Ask employee to take MC for last few days of employment because there is no work for resigned employee. Many contract employees and outsourced from GELM and other outsourcing agency. Multiple systems for leave application, payslips etc., front end system, core system. Forever got system problem not willing to invest for new system. Core system just implemented where other companies already use for over two decades. When C-level leaves the company, management ask employees to contribute for the “departure gift” When you are “useless”, department head will not treat you as visible.

High Work Load especially year end

No work life balance. need to work until night and weekend because of crazy workloads, micromanaged bosses ( love to please upper management). for them, everyday is money. but, still depends on your dept. some bosses are kind .

pressure for sales and bad software which hinders sales

Can be tiring sometimes especially when we first start out

Slow in adapting and risk averse.

I dont really hv ant to say

No direction from management for career path

too much work to do everyday

“deep-seated cultural issues” within the firm.
