Pros: They do offer some flexibility, which is nice. Sometimes you can shift hours if something comes up, which helps a bit for family stuff. The team in the Kuala Lumpur office is pretty supportive; we try to help each other out during crunch times for software development projects.
Cons: Honestly, the work-life balance for software engineer roles isn't great. We often have tight deadlines and long hours are expected, especially during agile sprints. It's common to work past 7 PM, and sometimes on weekends, which can be really draining in this mid-sized tech company.
Advice to Management: Focus on realistic project timelines and better resource allocation. It would really improve overall employee well-being and reduce burnout, especially for the engineering teams.
