Hi "Anonymous former employee", Thanks for your feedback.I appreciate the time you have taken to do this even after leaving the Company. Since you have kept yourself anonymous, I am not sure how we could be of help to advise you. But I'd like to take this opportunity to respond to your comments. *Remuneration in iCar is fair and we believe in rewarding each person by their experience, performance and contribution to the business. If you think there was a major disparity, you should have spoken to your direct manager or HR to bring up the issue so we could have helped you. Not sure if you did that while you were still in iCar. * Many senior roles have been filled internally and it is not true that we only bring external candidates to senior roles. Our first priority is always to look into internal candidates. The only reason we would get someone external is when we don't have a suitable candidate/expertise internally. This is a norm for most companies and in the best interest of the business. * The management of iCar values the people and recognizes good job and committed employees. In our recent employee survey, we had 98% participation and 75% score for how people feel valued and recognized for job well done. That shows a high engagement level of our current employees and how much iCar values and recognizes them. * Our office is located within the UOA building and we have almost 100 staff in our office. The building management only allocates less than 10 parking spots for us. We chose the office to be in this location so people can get here easily via LRT (which is connected to our building!!) and just one stop away from KL Sentral. Anyway, it is really each individual's preference of how they travel to work. It is impossible for the Company to provide parking space for everyone and this has been made clear to all. But we do provide a travel to work allowance that is not available in most companies :) * Our pay range commensurate with experience and is matched against market comparisons. We have received good feedback from many of our people through our recent employee survey and annual salary adjustment, which makes iCar a better place to work. I hope this is helpful and answers your comments above. Sad that you didn't take the opportunity to reveal yourself here, at least I could have addressed your comments directly to you. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you need more info.

Vantaggi

It was a good environment with a lot of flexibility for creativity. Pay was decent.

Svantaggi

Culture shifted heavily towards the end of my tenure due to acquisition by another company. Internal friction between marketing head and my team lead resulted in damaged client relationships due to disagreement on content strategy.
