"Working with PFA for over a year, I can say that PFA have invariably welcomed talented and potential staffs regardless of their age and ethnicity where discussion and exchange of knowledge and skills are always done openly. PFA really put emphasizes staffs to strive excellence for the good of Company I must say, but PFA continuously recognized staff’s needs and concerns where open interaction between Management and staffs are truly encouraged. All in all, if you’re looking for a company who will offer you a long-term career, Managements who are hands on that support you both personally and professionally and work life balance, PFA might “tick” all of the checklist."
