SEGi University Employee Reviews & Ratings

not well paid even if they say so

High staff turnover. No salary increment, you will stuck with the same salary for years but keep on getting appointment letter for additional task. It is almost impossible to get promoted. The top management (SEGi Group) too ambitious in giving new direction but with minimal resources and short period. Standardizing across centre very difficult as some of them not cooperative. Too many bosses to attend and getting approval. The yearly KPI doesn't make sense to some job function as being setup by non related department/person in charge which know/expert the for the respective job. Senior staff/existing staff which have works like forever in SEGi not really productive and innovative, lack of technology skills, unwilling to learn and refuse to go out from their comfort zone.

Workloads keep coming. Meeting the demands.

Too many office politic and bias

My time at this institution was very challenging due to issues with management practices. There was a lack of fairness and transparency in decision-making, where personal preferences often influenced outcomes more than merit or performance. Workload distribution was unequal, with some individuals having the privilege of choosing easier tasks, while more difficult responsibilities were pushed onto others. Compensation also became a point of contention. Instead of appreciating experience or prior achievements, higher pay was often treated as a justification to expect disproportionately more work — even when colleagues were on the same level. This created an unhealthy and demotivating environment, especially since salary differences were largely due to previous companies’ practices and not the employees’ fault. Another concerning issue was the lack of empathy and support for staff well-being. Flexibility was rarely granted even in situations that required compassion, leaving employees to feel pressured into prioritizing work over health and family. When concerns were raised, they were often dismissed or ignored, as some staff seemed protected by their connections with higher management. Overall, the culture prioritized hierarchy and favoritism over professionalism, leaving little room for growth or genuine support. I believe with fairer practices, greater transparency, and real accountability, this could have been a much healthier workplace.

Old facilities, not much support from management, no claims for travel expenses.

Underpaid, no bonus for few years.

Pay not as lucrative when starting out. However this is expected in the education industry.

Must be have a armguard standby at lobby

salary quite low for executive level

Low Salary Lack of Benefits Lack of Career opportunities

Too much direction from Group Level. Everything needs to be standardized among colleges although limited resources. Senior lecturer too powerful. Senior lecturers enjoy flexible working hours while new staff needs to work within office hours plus weekend class. Some lecturers got no suitable credentials. In 2021, almost half of the staff resigned.

extra, irrelevant tasks are expected of you

Office politics, lack of parking, keep on changing in terms of management direction i.e when new member of the top management came in, the previous practice totally changed.

No promotions, minimal bonuses, and hardly any salary increments. Management doesn't listen to employees. They direct us to do things without proper planning, just because another university is doing it. Often, there are changes, and our time and effort end up being wasted

Pay might be low. Private university.

nothing much to say but overall is good

Too much work and bad leader

High teaching workload, always need to do extra works.

Most bosses are fussy. Many unlikable by their own staff. some work procedure is unclear. Sometimes cheating in order to get the work done. Very low increment every year.

Academicians risk becoming obsolete in term of research skills if work here too long

Bad management in SEGi college Penang. Micromanage principal No staff benefit No increment No bonuses HR that emotional and does not know how to communicate with employee.if employee ask anything, she will said refer to group.

Poor management, keep on changing HOD which make work become complicated

This company is one to steer clear of. They fail to provide bonuses, halt salary increments, and neglect to offer essential training for employees at all levels. The upper management shows no inclination to justify their actions, treating employees as if they are expendable labor. A culture of bullying is prevalent within the organization. The management consists of individuals who do not perform their duties and instead expect their subordinates to complete their projects and tasks. They offer no guidance, only harassment towards the staff. Furthermore, the management hires individuals with questionable academic credentials and fraudulent resumes.

Management needs to be improved.

less academical stuffs like staffs.

Internal politics and lots of competitions

I would not recommend this position to anyone seeking a healthy and inclusive work environment. While the role itself may seem promising on paper, the reality is quite different. The institution is located in an area where racial bias is evident, creating a challenging atmosphere for individuals from diverse backgrounds. Unfortunately, this issue extends into the workplace, where inclusivity and respect are not prioritized. Additionally, the overall work environment is toxic. There is a lack of professional support, and workplace politics heavily influence decision-making. Instead of fostering collaboration and academic growth, the culture seems to thrive on favoritism and negativity.

No flexi hour, high workload.

Workload and no increment and bonus

Working environment not conducive. Typical profit-oriented organisation.
