EX STAFF
Dec 2025Johor Bahru Johor2 to 3 years in the role, former employee
Workplace became unstable and stressful due to consultant’s role, with job and pay misaligned.
The good thingsThe working environment used to be quite good and friendly. Although there was one senior staff who liked to act smart and stay close to the boss, on the surface this person appeared caring and sweet, but in reality often undermined others and played the victim when confronted. Many were misled by this ‘two-faced’ attitude. In other companies, such behavior would likely have resulted in disciplinary action long ago. Apart from that issue, the overall environment at that time was fine.
The challengesThe company relied too heavily on an external consultant (not from Malaysia), whose authority often exceeded the director. The director seemed reluctant to intervene, and the consultant’s KPI was unclear while employees were constantly evaluated. The position offered during the interview did not match the actual job scope; Production Engineer was supposed to focus on production but ended up covering QC and engineering. Salary was not aligned with workload, and the title was downgraded to “Engineer,” which felt misleading. Employees were asked to write letters as if it was their own request, for example when probation was extended or issues blamed on staff, while HR was unaware of the real situation. The safety officer role was treated as only 5S, though safety should be broader. Overall, the consultant’s role created a negative impact, making the workplace less organized, stressful, and contributing to high turnover. As a director, it is important to reconsider what has happened

working in the environment where is hard to do the RIGHT things.
The good things1. The work in engineering team is quite diversify, ranging from new design to repair parts, across few industry.
2. Is a good place for fresh graduate to learn: Process of a product design , process optimization, production workflow, assembly process, modification and also reverse engineering.
3. You will get the answer you want as long as you ask (need to ask the correct person).
The challenges1. Engineering team is young, average exp is about 1-1.5yrs only, they are not sure about their role and what needs to be done and their decision always affected by Production/QC.
2. Company is leaded by two Directors with different directions. They are not agree with each other most of the time and they like engineering to pass message.
3. The worst part is: conflict of interest between management and engineering department. always profit first and engineering ethics are not considered.
