    Senior Sales Administrator
    Mar 2026
    Kuching Sarawak6 to 7 years in the role, former employee
    I gained valuable experience in property sales admin while working alongside helpful collegues.
    The good thingsCahya Mata Sarawak is a well established corporate company. The workplace culture (Property SBU) is positive and supportive, I had the opportunity to work with many helpful and friendly colleague for the past 7 years (nearly). The role also provides good learning opportunities through collaboration with different departments such as finance, planning and legal.
    The challengesDuring my time there, the company underwent some restructuring which brought certain changes to process and direction. Decision making may sometimes take longer due to multiple approval levels, and career progression may depends on organisational developments.

    Executive, Recruitment
    Nov 2025
    Kuching Sarawak2 to 3 years in the role, current employee
    Working in a multinational corporation (MNC) often brings a sense of pride, growth and exposure.
    The good thingsThe Compensation & Benefits is one of the top-list in Sarawak. As a State & local company that establish is Sarawak, with a strong comp & ben packages, it attracts the good talents want to work in Cahya Mata.
    The challengesChallenges in Cahya Mata often revolve around navigating a rapidly evolving business environment while supporting a diverse portfolio of subsidiaries. With ongoing restructuring, digitalisation and operational integration across multiple SBUs, employees frequently face shifting priorities and increasing expectations. Talent shortages in specialised technical roles, especially within Sarawak’s competitive labour market, also create pressure to fill positions quickly while maintaining quality. Cross-department coordination can be demanding due to varied workflows, legacy systems and differing operational cultures across entities. Despite these challenges, they create opportunities to strengthen strategic HR practices, enhance stakeholder engagement and build more resilient organisational processes.

    The good thingsThe department that I was assigned to which was the IT department was incredibly helpful in giving me advises and a lending a helping hand with the tasks that was given to me.
