Pros: faster decisions, loyalty rewarded, sometimes personal flexibility. Cons: family members may have more power regardless of competence, clear ceiling if you're not family, no formal HR process.

Family businesses in Malaysia range enormously in professionalism. Research before joining, not all are the same.
