    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Malakoff Corporation Berhad appreciate the friendly and supportive colleagues who create a positive work environment and are willing to share knowledge. Many highlight the excellent learning opportunities, particularly in power plant operations and technical systems, along with good benefits and compensation packages that include healthcare and allowances. Training programmes and structured career development are available, especially beneficial for fresh graduates, and some employees enjoy good work/life balance and flexibility.

    However, there are some potential challenges, including top management frequently changing directions and priorities, with some employees noting unclear strategic vision. Office politics at the management level can affect the working environment, and career progression may be slow with limited promotion opportunities in some areas. Communication from management could be improved, and some teams experience high workload with limited resources and budget constraints. Additionally, salary increments and bonuses are reported as limited, and the KPI system may need refinement to better align with performance and company goals.

    Staying in this organization may hinder your professional development.
    The good thingsThe organization operates at a slower working pace.
    The challenges- The KPIs were initially set but later changed right before the assessment. The KPIs set by HR are not an appropriate tool to evaluate employee performance. - Unclear leadership and vision - Top management demonstrates insufficient competency. - Top management made decisions without bearing the resulting consequences, which fell on subordinate staff. Puts the burden of mistakes on employees. - Shows favoritism or inconsistent treatment of employees - Poor communication - Confusion, politics, and mixed directions included. - Stay in the same role forever; promotions are a myth. - Hard work rarely gets noticed or rewarded. - Limited opportunities to gain meaningful experience - Slow or inefficient work environment - Toxic - No professional development - Low salary, increment and bonus

    "Skilled in maintaining mission-critical IT and OT systems with a strong focus on uptime, cybersecurity, and system reliability in power generation."
    The good thingsComing from an IT background, I’ve always enjoyed working with systems, networks, and troubleshooting technology. In the power plant environment, that foundation has expanded significantly. Now, I get to apply my IT skills in a much more dynamic and high-stakes setting — working with control systems, DCS, SCADA, controllers, network infrastructure, and other essential tools and software that directly support the plant's performance and safety. Also, I enjoy the collaboration with engineers, operators, and maintenance teams. It’s a multidisciplinary environment where I’m constantly learning about both traditional plant operations and evolving digital technologies like automation, cybersecurity, and predictive maintenance systems. Every day brings a new challenge, and that keeps the work engaging. I'm proud to be part of something essential — keeping the plant running smoothly and helping ensure the lights stay on for thousands of people.
    The challengesComing from an IT background, I see the potential for increased efficiency, reliability, and even cybersecurity improvements through updated systems or automation tools. However, in critical infrastructure environments like power plants, change tends to happen slowly — and understandably so, due to safety and regulatory concerns. That said, it can sometimes be frustrating when outdated systems or manual processes limit productivity or create unnecessary downtime. I believe there's a lot of value in finding a balance — respecting what works while also being open to innovation. As a System Technician, I understand how critical system uptime is. The fear of a trip — whether caused by a network failure, system misconfiguration, or delayed response — means there's very little room for error. This pressure can be intense at times, especially during troubleshooting or system upgrades, where decisions must be made quickly and accurate.
