      Expect the unexpected

      Pros

      Hybrid work mode. You’re required to come into the office once a week (and sometimes not at all). They don’t bother you after working hours, so work–life balance is genuinely good. Overtime is paid (triple rate). Public holidays follow Malaysia’s calendar, so no surprises there. Most team leads are great. They are helpful, supportive, and willing to guide you from A to Z. Colleagues are mostly friendly and welcoming. There are free food, events, sponsored trips, and other perks. Overall, it’s a decent place to start your career.

      Cons

      While it’s a good place to start your career, your career can also end abruptly on a random Monday if the higher-ups decide so. Job security and longevity are close to zero. You can be laid off without warning, even if you’re a high performer. When breaking the news, there is zero empathy. Social and communication skills from upper management are practically nonexistent. You may be moved from one market to another randomly. Then, if the new market underperforms, you’re laid off as if it’s a punishment. Severance pay? Low. Don’t expect much. And despite the low amount, it’s still split into two separate payments. LOL. Salary-wise, after 8 years of operating, the starting salary at the KL hub is still the same. No adjustment, despite claims that it’s “competitive and fair.” Apparently, inflation does not exist. You’ll be paid in RM, a weaker currency, yet the pay is still low. If you’re in the KL hub, expect to be treated unfairly. You’ll be overworked, constantly covering teams from other regions across different time zones, with no fair compensation or appreciation. It’s your fault, apparently, for being in the KL hub. Upper management is a mess. Communication is terrible, management skills are questionable, and processes change every single week. This week: write like this. Next week: new writing style, start over. Again. And again. Until they finally decide it’s “good enough.” Surprise! It’s time to lay you off. To make things worse, HR is not based in Malaysia. Communication is difficult, and it’s questionable whether they fully understand Malaysian labour laws and regulations. Overall, find another company. Don’t waste your time or skills here. You won’t be appreciated, and you won’t be paid fairly. You deserve better. We all deserve better.

      Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and honest feedback. We recognise the frustration and disappointment reflected in your words, and we’re sorry that your experience, particularly toward the end of your time with us, left you feeling this way. This is not how we aim for our people to experience their time at Atolls. We know that periods of change can be especially challenging, and that the way decisions are communicated plays a significant role in how they are experienced. Your comments regarding job security, cross-regional workload, and the experience of being based in the Kuala Lumpur hub raise important points that we take seriously and continue to reflect on as an organisation. While business priorities and structures can evolve over time, our intention is always to act responsibly and to support our people with clarity and respect. Feedback like yours helps us assess how our processes, leadership communication, and support systems are experienced in practice, and where we can continue to strengthen consistency and transparency. We also appreciate you acknowledging the positive aspects of your time at Atolls, including work-life balance, supportive team leads, and collaboration with colleagues. Experiences can differ across teams and over time, and it remains our responsibility to ensure that positive elements are not overshadowed by uncertainty or misalignment. Thank you again for providing your perspective. If you are open to providing additional context directly, our People & Culture team can be reached at tae.team@atolls.com. Sincerely, Atolls P&C Team
