AI summary of recent reviews

JVCKenwood Corporation offers a supportive work environment characterised by helpful colleagues and management support. Employees particularly value the learning opportunities available, especially in technical and engineering fields. The company provides good professional development opportunities through exposure to manufacturing processes and new technologies, along with attractive benefits including bi-annual bonuses and business travel opportunities.

The work environment does present some challenges, including the need to manage tight production schedules and quick turnaround times. The requirement to refer decisions to Japan headquarters can sometimes impact work flow efficiency, and some employees note that career advancement opportunities within the organisation may be limited.

Good and strong company for gain new knowledge and skillsA good company for employee to gain skill and experience, consider a good benefits to employee, a lot of new package being offered for example, Ot allowance for non-overtime month up to RM300/month, soldering skill and multiskill allowance up to RM700/month if we reach to certain technical level. In terms of management, I believe the issue is common and different each company. Good experience so far!

Quality Control Officer

Johor Bahru Johor2 to 3 years in the role, former employee

Think twice before join this company especially Quality departmentPositive feedback: Bonus 2 times. and salary on time never delay. Negative feedback: 1. Micromanagement : Boss always see the CCTV to check worker doing job. 9 hours working cannot do any movement, even go to side station. Boss always keep on checking the progress task every hours. 2. Culture working no good: Boss humiliate the staff in front others, to show her/his power as boss. Shouting to staff in open area. 3. Favoritism: who kind to the boss, will get good increment and bonus evaluation. Even you do many job but not give good result, it would not give u extra money. u get only mentally breakdown. 4. Professionalism and conflict of interest within the management team. : Inter-department top management had a close personal relationship which led to biased treatment, favoritism, and an environment where it was extremely difficult to raise concerns or file complaints. Many employees felt powerless to speak up, fearing retaliation or being ignored due to the personal dynamics in management. This contributed heavily to the toxic work culture and lack of accountability at the leadership level.
