    Quality Engineer
    Jan 2026
    Perai Penang11 to 12 years in the role, former employee
    Good work environment, poor management.
    The good thingsFlexible work arrangements, including mobile work and flexible hours Good working environment with modern facilities and technology Great colleagues, especially experienced staff who were willing to teach and guide.
    The challengesManagers lacked clear & well-defined KPI, difficult for employees to set goals & work towards advancement. Performance KPIs unclear, led to confusion and inconsistent evaluations. Favoritism & personal connections played a significant role in decision-making, created an unfair and biased work environment. Bonus rates were disappointingly low, and the company's justification of "cost reduction" was not convincing, leading to dissatisfaction among employees. The new generation of young management lacked of necessary experience and capabilities to effectively lead the team, which resulted in poor decision-making and guidance. Office politics were rampant, with managers often focusing on their own interests rather than the well-being of the company. Instead of prioritizing sales and growth, management tended to focus on minor issues. Escalation process was ineffective, with issues often being bounced back to the working level without clear solutions, leading to frustration and wasted time.

    5 to 6 years in the role, current employee
    Engineering Processes on Steroids.
    The good thingsBeing a German based International companies, means there is a semblance of corporate governance. Good to learn processes and methodologies in theory. Stable job. Facilities upgraded recently (2019/20). Cost effectiveness means good business continuity. SAFe methodology used to portray agility. Recommended for stable job.
    The challengesFor Software field, the process is extremely heavy due to automotive regulations from Germany/EU. SAFe methodology used to "portray" agility. Cost effectiveness means progression always at risk of cost cutting. Company wise, overzealous implementation of certain methodologies means overdoing things without meaning and a wasteful use of time. Benefits are nothing great compared to US based companies. Not a recommended if you have passion for new technologies as the aim is being cheap.(No we don't do ADAS, electric motor, power train or engines).

    Excellence employer with best caring to employee
    The good thingsCompany give good benefits to employee includes medical / optical perks, birthday gifts, training, mobile work, special price to purchase company products and etc. Same as other company, car allowance is given to senior or higher position role. The working stress is average high same as most others company but the good things is it still consider a work life balance working environment for now.
    The challengesStable hierarchy with limited opportunity to have fast career progression. SOP need to enhance and be more systematic on software development life cycle on documentation, development and process. High gap between managerial position and engineer position to understand each other. Need to have better system to manage and ease to get approval on purchase request for equipment, software and others item.

    Slow moving company
    The good thingsLess working pressure. Everyone is in slow motion and relax mode. So, it is good if you are not looking for something new or aggressive.
    The challengesThe working momentum is too slow... working time is not flexible. Poor IT support. Collaboration or interaction between engineers are too less. Manager do not aware what happen to their engineer or what being assigned to them. If you're working with Singapore team, you will be confused due to the complication of reporting tree.

    Good experience
    The good thingsA good company for fresh grad and the executives / engineers to learn more. Plenty of opportunities and career development. Have room to express yourselves and grow with others together as a team. Supportive team leader and guidance from colleagues. Facility is improving and have a wide of good system implemented.
    The challengesQuite challenging future due to unstable management with their decision and lots of cost cutting activity. Benefit could be better for the employee and appreciation of the team effort. Managing older employees along with their mindset could prove a big challenge. The growth and projects inquisition is quite slow these few years.
