    Research and Development Engineer
    Oct 2024
    Rawang SelangorLess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    Great place to grow
    The good things1. Great place to learn and grow your career. Here you will learn a lot of new things engineering process. 2. Somewhat flexible working hours. 3. Colleagues are very helpful and does not shy in helping and educating you. 4. Company activities such as badminton, sports day, annual dinner are held and can help you to bond with other departments 5. Good work life balance. You can go home after working for 8 hours
    The challenges1. Some rules are understandable but it looks more to punishing the employee rather than foster them. 2. Medical benefit for outpatient treatment is low. It might not be a problem if you have strong immune system 3. Parking is limited. If you arrive after 8.30 am, you have to fight for parking and walk far away from the main gate and quite annoying if you just stuck in traffic jammed and in rainy days. 4. You are threatened with salary deduction if you are late as the flexible working hours is only up to 6.00 pm. Your salary can also be deducted if you forgot to clock in/out. 5. Prayer room is small and can only fit maximum 2 persons. Sometimes you have to queue in order to pray.

    Research and Development Engineer
    Aug 2024
    Rawang Selangor3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    Great place to learn for R&D Engineer but local management can be difficult at times
    The good things1. Somewhat flexible hour. 2. Medium sized MNC with good learning opportunities. 3. 1-month performance bonus (depends on year & performance) 4. Chance to be sent for overseas training (but bonded for 2-years) 5. Company trip and annual events. 6. For R&D Engineer, you have the chance to be involved 100% in the projects. 7. If you excel at what you do, there is a chance to promote into senior/managerial position.
    The challenges1. Management too nit-picking and rule by fear instead of empower. 2. Great engineering company but factory/office environment doesn't really inspires innovation. 3. If you're late, you'll be penalised by salary deductions.

    Industrial Engineering Process Technology Department
    Jun 2024
    Rawang SelangorLess than 1 year in the role, former employee
    Great opportunity for Contract-temporary / Part time
    The good things1.Gain more experiences & knowledge on parts of Industrial Engineering Process Technology! 2. All colleagues in this department are so kind & friendly, being respectful, great hardworking together & good working environment with great team and communication on the job. (Good advice from all senior & also junior) even strict but very professional in respect way and understandable. I was completely impressed with their professionalism! 3. Provide flexible hour, free parking too! 4. Such a very good software which is (SAP) system that enables every department to access and share common data to create a better work environment for every employee in the company.
    The challenges1. Job scope is wide, great challenge and growth promotion. 2. We must alert and quickly adapt to pick the jobs mostly when the superior is in outstation, sometimes difficult to design schedule/work instruction since maybe someone who is not in core of engineering but still can accept it, need more to learn! 3. Contract / part-time (just a few month periods of time only/temporary job replacement) It's good if get this job for Permanent full-time, psstt can get more benefits too! 4. There is just 'few' in other department staffs that was showed other people their negative reaction and always find other negative side, luckily in this department so respectful & positively understandable!

    The Comapny which made me family .
    The good thingsThe people will be the first thing that pulled me closer to the company, as the relationship with employess was't just about co-workers, in the first month at work you will be able to understand That . The working enviroment is just the way you wish it would be . Simply because, here discusion with senior superviosors is as joyable as making a conversation with your friend.
    The challengesI would say, deadlines are something to take into consideration because if one department delayes the job eventually the whole team has to face the consequences But they will face it togather and thats the best part. Next would be being punctual,we all know someone who is always late for work, as im concern, he will not find this apealing. Since it's a German based company quality in work is vital
