CJBM is the world's first and only commercial-scale producer of L-methionine, using cutting-edge microbial fermentation, biotechnology, and purification methods.Unlike conventional methods that use highly toxic compounds from non-renewable crude oil, CJ's L-methionine is produced through a double fermentation process with renewable resources, making it a green alternative.

    Weak management, limited leadership, unfair performance, poor balance, politics and silos.
    The good thingsEncouraged adaptability and the ability to work under pressure.
    The challenges1- Bad management 2- HOD and department manager are not helpful. Most of them useless. 3- KPI setting was misaligned with actual employee performance. Ratings were often assigned without clear justification, creating the perception that certain employees were favored for top (S) rankings while unfavored will get (D) rank. 4- Lack of benefits 5- No competency and value added 6- There was a lack of work–life balance, with employees expected to be present even when there were no urgent or critical tasks. 7- Too much politics and "Jilat Menjilat" 8- There was limited cross-departmental support in resolving issues, with work largely confined within individual departments.

    I feel and experience in this company in low pace and static of career which mean that most of good ideas and suggestions got rejected by top management.
    The good thingsThe work environment is friendly and relaxing. Free meal everyday (save your money) and monthly benefit for clubs and department activity. Politic issues between local staff is none.
    The challengesThe working pace among colleagues quite slow. No high budget for career development such as program/event and especially training. Superior always right and no trust in work recognition to underline. Very hard to approve for maintenance budget and activity which maintenance work is a must to sustain plant in a good condition.
