Work contracts have many unusual and legally unenforceable terms to try to control and silence staff.
He puts many staff on short term contracts instead of normal perm hiring. He employs many low cost overseas remote workers. I feel this is done to control and intimidate staff.
Staff who fall ill and take MC are unfairly pressured and suddenly fired without doing any wrongs at work. Imagine you are already ill yet employer find fault with you for being ill and even fire you. I feel that such behaviour is horrible, along with many things Jerald Lie the owner did to staff. He has a long history of doing things like this.

I’ve been at AD for quite some time now, and honestly, I see a lot of people talk about salary, work culture, and all that online. I get it, everyone got their own experience. But for those who actually stay long enough, the story different.
One thing about Jerald—he don’t care about being popular. He care about doing the right thing. He not the type to just make people happy for the sake of it. Sometimes, his decisions not the easiest, but they always got the team’s best interest in mind. He make sure got enough manpower so nobody die from overload. He also bring us overseas, not just for fun, but to expose us to new experiences and bond as a team. How many bosses really do that?
People say AD work tough—of course lah, every good place got high standards. But one thing I see is if you step up, you get rewarded. Promotions, pay raise, bigger roles—not given just because you stay long. You need to show you worth it. I see fresh grads come in, and in a few years, they leading teams. Some find their own strengths and grow into roles they never expect.
Honestly, this place not for people who just want easy job. But if you want to grow, learn real skills, and work in a place where effort actually gets noticed, AD got a lot to offer. People can say what they want online, but those who really stay and see, they know.
For me, staying at AD? Worth it.
