    What’s it like working at Knauf Group?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Knauf Group enjoy a good work-life balance and appreciate the company's stable business as the market leader in Malaysia and Singapore. The experienced workforce, with many employees staying for over 10 years, contributes to well-established processes and good vendor support due to long-standing relationships.

    However, there are some potential areas for improvement. Reviewers mentioned issues with documentation not being properly organised, and indications that the management structure is still being developed. There is also a perceived reluctance to change existing processes, potentially due to the high demand and inability to stop production. Additionally, there are concerns about benefits being unfairly distributed, with expatriates and HQ staff receiving better benefits than manufacturing staff. The work environment is described as dusty, which could be a challenge for some employees.

    The good thingsSubsidised food from canteen. Easy life, machine runs well, very matured process. Employees are generally stayed for more than 10 years, so they know what they are doing and can make the job very easy for managers. Vendors support are good, because of long history in working with them. Cash rich corporate with very stable business. Market leader in Malaysia and Singapore.
    The challengesDictator style management with very little innovation to apply to the very matured process. Very reluctant to changes as the sole production line cannot afford to down to support the high demand from market. Benefits in the company is very unfairly distributed where expatriates gets the best, followed by HQ staff, and manufacturing staff are treated the worst. Overall very dusty environment.
