Astro is a sunset industry, only surviving because of monopoly.

Their customer base are those old folks that have been long subscribers to Astro.

They struggle to find new customers.

Now there is netflix and android TV box.

Go ahead and get your experience working in the financial sector, don't expect to stay in the company long term.

scriptwriter something like that.

i don’t know what’s exact department lol.

but seriously no work life balance for him.
he’s one of those workaholic freaks to work 24/7 without resting. but he can rest like few months if all projects done.

You're referring me as their customer, yes me old folk prefer mechanical over electronic sure use astroll on dish (not useless wi-fi).

As far ts, astroll & maxshit staff mostly on contract basis and they are known of not renewing contract if that staff celery beem through too many increment. The boss is typical scrooge bastard exploiting staff to max with minimal celery & benefit

How about work nature? I heard it's MNC, so will it be like every month just extract data from system and submit to BU without knowing what is the purpose of doing so? Any analytical skills needed?
