have you guys heard of dummy company? there's no official office of the company, even there's no official phone number too.

my friend and I already been there for like 2 weeks as a software dev, but we are not being briefed on the company background (when the manager and CTO being asked on the company background, they seemed like covering things up). pay wise, its ok. but still, the stability of the company concerns me and my friend.

why is it called a dummy company?

lets make it this way. say one main company X, is a crony company. the owner is a well known guy in Malaysia. he sets company X and controlled the company indirectly, which helps him to get gov tenders. next, another company say Y, is created to by using the name of company X, to do software for the gov(which is the tender i said before). eventhough company Y is a technology solution company, they don't have any dev. so a well positioned guy from company Y, opened up a dummy company, which is the one i am working now, to do all the software dev.
