Erm, I have been working in ISCM (I afraid people confused between ITSC, SCOPE and ISCM) for 2 years in customer experience division and allow me to share experience working in this company:

1. Great exposure because you might be able to get in touch with people all around the world, built application that target different countries.

2. Annual leave is about 18D ~ 22D (or even more)..depend on your job grade; So AL + PH + sick leave, is around 30++ days.

3. For my division, we practice flexi working hour, meaning you can choose to work from 9AM, 10AM and 11AM, however this is still depend on which team, and whether your team manager offer this benefit.

4. Work from home is on the way deliver to us...

5. Relationship among colleagues is consider good; however, office politics cannot be avoided especially we are talking about a huge organization, matrix organization so you know the politic is multiplied lor.

6. Pay, pay is OK I think; but I think this is people to people basis...Bonus depend on your rating, rating 1->5, A->E, so if you are 1A, you are god like and bonus will be huge, and if you are 5E..hmm, take care.

7. Always struggle with budgeting issue and technology; but remember business come first, so if business say no budget, then your great idea (application) will be dropped...so don't get sad and relax...and this is the most important point people start complaining "Sux lar", "like this also can", and well, this is the fact.

8. Recommend not to join when you are first grad, salary increment is slow...however, join if you are in AP or SAP level maybe a better choice @@ Or another option is make sure you ask for more salary when you join the company...

9. Rollout an application need to follow a lot of processes, and a lot of processes come with A LOT of documents, and processes are always slow, take time and tedious most of the case.....

10. Location, LRT train, tons of food stalls around the office area (Menara LYL, Menara Axis, Crystal Plaza), PJ is definitely a better working location compare to KL lar...my personal opinion (compare to citibank..), Ah, forgot, Got aeroline some more.. Open car park is about RM5 ~ RM7/Day

11. Fitness First in Menara Axis, most people gain weight after join Scope, me too, 85KG -> 93.5KG...

12. Work pressure, well depend but I think still manageable.

13. Working hour, hmmm I think is ok, normally I work from 10AM ~ 7PM and most of the days I can leave office around 7 ~ 7.30PM except I have rollout which can only carry out after bank office hours.


Overall, personally I think if you want me to give a rating (1-10) for this company I would say 7.5, as this is my 6th company I work in..

And also ask yourself if you are choosing a good company or a good boss..

Hope this help

COMPLETELY AGREED WITH YOU..

I used to work with SCOPE for almost 3 years, I quitted recently...
No counter offer, and more importantly what manager promised "you will definitely put in high priority when come to promotion, performance review next round" is all lie, don't ever believe unless your HR manger issue a letter for you saying you will get increment, promotion, blah blah. I asked my manager to issue the letter and he said "I am not going to do that.."..haha..

And for the case you said, yes, my ex colleague was suffering, and exactly the same reason, she was transferred to another team, and also promised by the manager that she will be doing development work, but end up doing support because "You have to familiar with the system first"..

Last but not the least, a lot of incapable project manager is in that company, be careful.. politics also quite worse..

Same to SCOPE PJ, they let go a lot of senior, experienced staffs and hire new people with cheaper pay, and hope it will work...come on, it's not gonna work!
