Just a tip,

For those who are going for interviews and not sure if the company is legit or not, instead of just posting here and asking for opinions, which is a good idea, but sometimes it may be hard to bump into somebody else who has been through the same company and willing to share their experience. Read the thread from first page to see if somebody has already shared their story/view of the company, or google for more information.

And I would suggest that if you have the courage, just go for the interview etc, 'try the company out', but try to refuse or delay to sign any contract / job offer letter etc, ask for a few days to think first.. This is if you get the job immediately after interview.. Otherwise if they want to call you back after days/weeks (or months if you're interviewing for some slow bureaucratic old international companies), you got plenty of time for asking around!

Try to spend some time to look around in the office, ask ppl that u see in the company how it is.. Chances are, they can give you more information about the job than us here, because they ARE working there! You might need to be friendly, smile a bit and approach some of your potential future co-workers, but hey there's nothing to lose.. If you plan to stay, you'd already made a friend, if you plan to leave, you wont see them anymore..

Usually unhappy workers are more than glad to share their woes with you over a cup of coffee in the pantry or out in a mamak stall.. Try to gauge the workplace atmosphere as well if you can access them or view them.. Does a majority of the people look sad, oppressed and 'forced' to do work, or are they smiling and happy, or at least serious and concentrated in their work..

Some firms may only give you 24 hours to consider before signing, others may require that you accept immediately or lose the job, so it's up to your discretion and negotiation skills how to proceed.. Remember one thing, the job has its value yes, but you as a potential worker/employee has a value also.. If it's the first few times you're going for interview, all you need is to push aside your fears and nervousness, and go through the interview and first few days of work with a clear mind, and evaluate whether its worthwhile to stay or to cabut..

Good luck!
