I am another S1LV3RL@KE victim ...

Let me tell you my experience with them:

- Turnover rate insanely high. 90% people, like me, in there only for 1 year just to get it in the resume as our first job. Pay is so little that you'll get a heck lot of job offers from other companies after you complete that first year.
Those who remain are team leads and management staff that have a skill with ass kissing.

- There was one senior colleague who worked there for so many years. Later he developed terminal cancer and had to take a lot of leave to go for hospitalization and medication as well as to prepare for his inevitable death.
The company ended his employment after he used up his available annual and medical leave. So he was jobless and had no income towards the end.

- Most the people in there are really Chinese-educated. Bananas like me and my Indian colleagues cannot click with them. If you not Chinese-ed like them, you get push aside and treated like outsider all the time.
If you can't ching-chong, you can forget about any promotion.

- At their PJ HQ, their pantry is always kept locked and no one is allowed in except the designated pantry staff (who are also cleaners actually). More secure than Bank Negara. You can't even go in to get hot water refill for your tea. Have to give cup to staff for them to fill it.
You want a drink? Wait for the drinks cart to come around the workplace twice a day with hot flasks of sugar loaded Nescafe 3-in-1 and teh tarik. Diabetic? Too bad. You get better treatment in Pudu prison!

- During development, the central host server always run out of HDD space. So we stop all work while waiting for some miracle HDD fairy to come by and make space.
Management refuse to allocate budget to upgrade the IBM server. The budget for their marketing team is hundreds of times more than development team. Includes budget for wine-dining, golf course invites and all sorts of spending spree to win contracts.

- When they sent me(and other colleagues) to work at a client's office in Indonesia, we have to go in on a tourist visa. Not work visa.
The practice is that we just slip in 50K Rupiah note into our passport when we go through immigration and then put it into expense claims later.
