Their standard starting salary is RM2500 if I am not mistaken. Few years ago RM2100 for degree.

Good environment to learn while goyang kaki.

Got a few friends there. A typical GLC.

RM2500 for a programmer at a security firm? You can make so much more by installing backdoors into government sites.

If you want to learn a lot, for fresh graduates or even those who already work for few years. this is the place. gaji i will say a little bit more than government salary ladder. since as a Company Limited by Guarantee, working environment same like government. masuk pukul 8 balik pukul 5, masuk pukul 9 balik pukul 6. if you're in operation department like mycert and digital forensics takde la goyang kaki tapi tak la tension. department lain saya tak tahu. MyCERT has 2 unit, security operation centre that handle cyber999 and malware research centre that involved in RnD and projects like The Honeynet Project, dontphishme firefox and Google chrome add-on, and more.
