Meaningful work and great colleagues hindered by poor management - Producer BFM 89.9 Employee Review

great experience. learned a lot. they really expect the most out of you. if you grind and work really hard, you will get an incredibly experience

the culture can be a little intimidating. the people are all very intelligent and smart, which can be a real eye opening experience for many malaysians

Access to Thought Leaders: Producing content for a station like BFM puts you in contact with some of the most insightful minds in business, policy, and media in Malaysia. Up-to-Date Equipment: Video gear and editing software are reasonably current. The manager has solid industry experience and understands the importance of having the right tools for the job. Collaborative Team Culture: The people are passionate, intelligent, and helpful. Cross-department collaboration is common, and you’ll learn a lot just by osmosis.

Flat Structure, Unclear Expectations: There are no formal junior or senior titles — everyone is treated as being on the same level. This creates confusion around roles and responsibilities. Even if you're just starting your career, you're often expected to deliver at the level of someone with 5–8 years of experience, without adequate support or mentoring. Indecisive Leadership & Outdated HR Practices: Decision-making can be slow and unclear, especially regarding probation confirmation. There have been cases where employees are left in limbo well after their probation period, or are informed they're not confirmed after it has ended. Additionally, the HR system is very conventional and outdated, lacking transparency, digitization, and proper onboarding or performance review processes.
