Amanda Lim,

Did you end up with ASTRO GS Shop? If yes, can share how's the working environment especially the colleagues? I got call by ASTRO headhunter TOO. But contemplating whether to join.

Is it a good company to join? Anyone please feel free to feedback.

Have been approached to go for interview at a new joint venture between Astro and South Korea's GS Home Shopping, called Astro GS Shop Sdn Bhd (AGSSB).
Does anyone have any info regarding this new company? Will the benefits for this new company be the same as Astro?

Thanks!

Cha202,

Mind me asking in which division you are working in?
I got an offer but I am now contemplating if I should join because it is a totally new environment for me. I am not sure how's the environment, workload, expectations and office politics in ASTRO? Yes package wise is good about 20% more than my current. Is it worth a try? If I am young, I would because I am sure there are a lot to learn but problem is I am already mid 30s...should I take this risk 😔

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.
