Astro is one of the biggest company in Malaysia..Many ppl do not realize it.
The benefits are really good.(PERMANENT STAFFS ONLY). Medical benefits, Free astro, free gifts from time to time, ie: galaxy tab etc.
Flexi claims.
Astro offers one of the best pay for fresh grads and newcomers.
Been stable for more than 15 years.
Every year profit is increasing.
No competitor @ the moment.
Working environment is not bad, multicultural, no bias towards race,
Everyone who performs gets the opportunity to move up(depends on department).
Yearly performance bonus.

What else you want? haha

that's pretty normal, in fact, quite underpaid compare to other companies of the same size

mana2 pon sama the politics part. I worked in HSBC, PayPal and now in government based organization. Everywhere the same. you just need to know how much to set your expectations/hopes. dont always be optimistic, some pessimism is a must.

my friend in astro is happy no prob etc, currently almost 6 months since she joined Astro.

true, politics is everywhere
but astro is politics + cowboy style
no proper process flow, no proper paperwork and SOP, have to bow down to whomever of higher pangkat or bigger fists

if u got the chance to talk with ex-PM from there, u ll get "interesting" stories

over there if ur rank is Associate or Snr Associate, ur life is still good, u get to escape a lot of stupid politics and dramas, for AVP and above is a different game altogether.

overall, astro is still a good place to earn steady income, i suggest whoever going in, just clock in and out on time, no need to chase for the ever changing KPI, no need to "go beyond", although u will kiss the bonus and career path goodbye, but you can spend the after office hour for some part time such as insurance agents or Uber, the side income will still be more than ur bonuses
