    Regretted working there
    The good thingsIt is a good place to start off as an entry level staff but not a place where you can see a career progression.
    The challengesStaff matters/concerns should be addressed more objectively. HR department need to be more independent in addressing staff matters.

    Excellent Staff Benefits
    The good thingsThe company provides full or partial training sponsorship for its staff who want to upgrade themselves academically. And SIM is always a family-friendly organisation. There is a child care centre for staff to put their kids while parents can attend work with a peace of mind. Apart from that SIM also organises annual staff events for staff and their families to participate.
    The challengesPromotion is difficult as it is common to have staff who have been working there for 10 over years, so vacancies are limited.
