hows the work environment in exact now?

I got a call from exact. Anyone working at there?? Can share any opinion?

hello guys... looks like this company seriously is being hated by so many people.... anyway i will be going to their interview soon, anyone can update us on the G Tower office enviroment? I will be going in as a Software engineer....hmm...

After they implemented the new structure, the environment is getting better.
(1) work life balance
(2) opportunity to growth for new comer
(3) a lot of training offer as well.

Exact is now expanding their business by developing a new product. Because of this, they need to inject headcount to run the operation.

If you consider to change your current job, I will say you may give a try in Exact. They are now very focusing on staff benefit.

I wonder did Exact pay u write this ? or you just new in Exact ?

There are a few things i must say about Exact,
- Almost every single one of the employees (except the big shots) are getting paid under market value.
- No contractual bonus.
- Incentives depends on sales. Sales drop you get nothing. But usually u get nothing.
- Low increment. 1.8 - 4 % max. If they like you might get 5.
- Heavy politics. You will see many "taichi" players in emails. These guys like abusing authority, putting blame on others to make themselves look good. etc
- Some really bad leaders (managers), most are a**holes, who trust other ppl more than trust their own subordinates. No appreciation/praise given whatsoever for his subordinates work done but only criticism, resulting  highly demotivated employees because of these a**holes.
- Work life is not balance at all. Some of them need to come back or work from home in weekends to complete the work.
- Promotion. 6 - 9 %, depends how much your manager like you. If they don't, you probably get lower than usual.
At that moment, you will ask yourself, what kind of shitty promotion is this ?!, I worked my ass off and this is the reward i get?!
Then the pain will come along. After a while, you find urself flipping through jobstreet updating ur resume. :thumbs:

The place now is so packed and is getting too crowed because they keep hiring but many ppl are leaving too.

Birthday celebration held in pantry which is a pain. The pantry is simply too small to accommodate 200+ ppl inside,
which is stupid.  :x

If you guys wanna join in better think twice.

already attend for the intvw last time but not selected. for me which have attend many intvw, exact is look more better than malay company.

I got bad experienced attend interview with malay company. normally they call people for interview just make sure there have enough candidate to select and not checked the background of the candidate.

let say the position required someone that have web experienced, but for me that dont have any web experienced also called. of course i will waste my time because i need to compete other candidate that have web experienced. if they already state need the experienced one, just call the experienced one. easy.  no need to waste other people time and energy.

Well, I believe politics happened every where. it depends on how you take it. If you think you are not suitable in politics environment, then maybe you should consider to build your own business with only yourself in the company.

I believe most of the corporate having the same issue, but at least I feel exact is still consider healthy and moving well company.

Good luck and all the best to you.
Wish to see you in Exact.

Worked there many years, and left recently for env change. Overall a good company, the situation was not exactly as described above. Ppl will not easily share positive things of a company in the forum, only those negative does.

Facts are facts. But please do not mislead others with your shallow information. (I assume you're new).
Go around and ask the ppl been there for years about the remunerations and politics.

Be smart !

so.... u not sharing any positive things? apart from just the "Overall a good company" ?

Too many positive things along my life in this company, of course they were some inevitable negative things, I also fully understand decisions always couldn't made to please everyone (200-300 staff), there is for sure. Overall, a good company that I would encourage everyone to consider it. I always ask myself what can I contribute rather than ask what can I gain, comparing is always a never ending story. If u think u deserve more then just justify why u deserve it, cannot get it just leave it and look for alternative. Making noise in the forum would not help u much, spend more time to read books would be ideal.

Hi bro, Can you ( or anyone) please tell me what is the range of salary for experienced senior developer. I hear the range is not that good.
thanks all for sharing ideas :-)
