I am an ex-astrolite. Benefits wise, i can say its quite good.

15%-16% epf contribution from astro (2 years ago, not sure now)
Free astro (1st account), 2nd and 3rd account will be rm50, deducted from salary if u decide to take. All channels except astro best, astro first and some other channels.
Meal allowance of rm70
Annual leaves 22 days, mc 60 days
Outpatient treatment covers spouse and kids
Hospitalization also covers spouse and kids
Flexible benefits (accumulated points can be converted into cash i.e. to buy handphone can claim back provided u have enough points)
Performance bonus depends on the company's performance of course. I've got mine 3 months bonus for 2 consecutive years. This year i dont think they're doing good.

Environment wise is also good. More to Gen Y environment especially in Astro Radio. Food in cafe is also good. Always have events. Celebrities coming in and out. People are generally good but if you're in Sales department, be prepared. They have sky high expectation. Overall, i like the company and the people i worked with. But because of some idiot that i cant stand, i decided to go.

Go ahead and join if you've got the offer. Trust me, u will learn a lot, including the office politics and drama.

and was it also worth for you to quit that job?

In my opinion, yes its all worth it. When I joined, my salary was so much lower. After a while, my boss decided to revise my salary as the workload worth more than what I earned. Workload was crazy, i broke down into tears because too many things on my plate, i came back to work 3 days after I got married, I was doing office work during my maternity leaves and a lot more. It does sound crazy right? For me, if can survive in Astro, i can survive anywhere. You get to see many things in Astro. Lots of different characters. Like their tag "macam-macam ada"

I quit because I was exhausted and the lack of leadership, was some of the push factor. After all, everybody deserves a break after working their a$$ off.

If any of you got an offer, just go for it. Go in, learn and leave. If you want to stay there forever also can. Lols.
