    Disappointing and depressing
    The good thingsThe benefits of the company, the work colleague can be helpful or can be disappointing.
    The challengesIn my case, everyone in my department was trained, except me. The training provided by the colleague was more to taichi the work before and it's disappointing. Again, other department is fine except mine.

    Nilai Negeri Sembilan1 to 2 years in the role, current employee
    Company once a place for a dream career advancement, now very high people turn over, very demand in multi-tasking, too many changes in organization, retrench people with excuse of redundancy position, highly control overtime and demand full multi task to perform. Very unhealthy working culture, and position is not secure.
    The good things- Depend on your manager, but mostly managers are very straight foward towards direction from regional. - Good safety control in the plant, very high level safety demand. - People mostly are very friendly, but when it come to work things, very poor in teamworking, always complaints and giving negative comments. - Company still paying salary during pandemic covid-19 - This plant have a canteen, rest time for executive is flexible, because too many unnecessary meetings.
    The challenges- Here there is no more clerk, position for maintenance executive, a lot of manual key in data to do. Laptop given will be fully utilize during rest rime at home to complete purchase item. Basicly, u will be a clerk, maintenance planner, purchaser, facility admin, also data tracker. - very hard to perform, as no one would listen your difficulty, they will only questioning your capability. For easy understanding, if you have any difficulty towards your task (just talk to your mirror). End of the day, the only thing you will listen is why why why why. Too many changes protocol. - No training given, thats why you will see requirement in advertisement, can work qoth minimum supervision. They will give online training, and expect right first time on you work. Please find lefter people in this company, check properly before u make decision to join. Not saying joining this company is not good, but people should know the situation whether suitable or not. My initial interest before join this company is for a long term career growth, but it turn up to be a salary improvement only.

    Deployment of conscripted soldier to battlefield, for die-hard, stagnant company
    The good thingsFor those who craving for challenges & want to strengthen career experience, welcome to the club. Not a place for those who want to settle down or entry level.
    The challengesMiserable forecast planning causing all supply chain from RM store to FG Warehouse suffer a lot. Very messy, poor management due to restructuring program by the Global higher ups. No proper on the job training program, very little chances for fundamental learning experience, not very suitable for fresher.

    Instrumentation skill improved!
    The good thingsMy Supervisor always tell and correct me when i did wrong. They act as a leader rather than a boss. Same goes to the HOD. very supportive and always open to help. All the lab technician were very helpful and friendly. You can always learn and improved skill in analytical testing.
    The challengesNeed to be proactive. Be more bright and friendly. Must have the initiative to learn. Always ask if you do not know. Really need to have a proper working time management as sometimes you have to do multitasking.
