Pros

I met good colleagues who supported me through one of the most toxic environments I've ever experienced. They remain supportive even after leaving. Trauma is really a strong bond.

Cons

I worked with this company when it was known as akademi General Assembly or General Assembly Malaysia. The CEO frequently tells untruths, has no strategic direction and poor easoning skills (in fact the only reasoning he offer is "at mckinsey ..." which often is of course a poor thoughtless explanation. Unfortunately, he has no experience in running a company and his management style is toxic pitting employees and teams against each other. The attrition rate speaks for itself - please talk to ex employees to understand the challenges if you are tempted to join so you can protect yourself. Further there is no direction so beware of running around in circles and being blamed.

Pros

Far and few between. Frankly can't think of any.

Cons

Beware. The job was nothing like what I was sold to begin with. The company lacks a cohesive strategy. It has been changed 12 times in the last 12 months. Not even sure what they are trying to do. Cult-like leaders and followers. Culture is toxic and management is unresponsive to employee concerns. Management with no experience of leading an organisation. Genuine lack of empathy and care within the organisation. High turnover rate and does not value its employees. No room for growth within the organisation. Complete lack of integrity within the organisation. To hide their wrong doings they launched another company called Excelerate ( the one with pink and black logo).

Great place to learn and thrive

Pros

I think this is a place for individuals who want to strive for success. The company fosters an environment to learn and grow both personally and professionally. One of the things I truly appreciate is the agency and autonomy given to me. There's ample room for ideation and solutioning, which encourages creativity and innovation. The team is trying to be more data-driven, and that's a big plus. Decisions are made based on evidence and analysis, which ensures we're on the right track.

Cons

It can be quite tiring. This is not your typical 9-5 job where you can just coast along. To thrive here, you need to be deeply invested in the ethos and mission of the company. It's a place for those who are ready to go the extra mile and work hard to achieve their goals.
