Star Media Group Berhad Reviews

Slightly old office and quite hard to find good food other than at the cafe and the mamak below.

Minimal professional growth and graveyard hours

Too much work life balance could be a bad thing. The company vision is there, the mission is there, the values is also there, but no action plan being executed. You know the saying, walking the talk? Well, they don't. They really don't enforce at all. There's this two halves that never seems to coincide one another; the print and the digital platform don't ever get to see eye to eye. The current CEO understands the importance of digital and print needs to be as one, but never drive it hard!

Uncertain future with constant Company restructuring

management should recognise talents within the company to retain them before they move somewhere else

Job scope not advance in term of technology Old timers prefer to get job done in their way

Boring environment, as a media company The Star head office seems like a very dull corporate environment. Very traditional concept, office is quite rundown and old. People are not friendly. Very tough for newbies to blend in with current seniors. Some senior news editors are arrogant. Lots of politics and backstabbing. Quite normal for media company though. Not recommended for fresh grads to start here. I've seen editors taking advantage of young writers. No proper training and seniors are very bossy. Plus basic pay for fresh grads with degree is quite low compared to other media companies.

Stressful but fun, so it's manageable.\

If you get absorbed into one of their subsidiaries, you won't get the same benefits. Even medical benefits also don't have. And unless you get into the big subsidiaries like mStar and Suria, you won't be getting the full support in smaller subsidiaries

the increment is quite difficult
