    If can change and revamp HR department ( known as People and culture ) MSM will be one of the company to work with.
    The good thingsWorking environment is good . Supportive subordinate and superior.
    The challengesHR personnel not competent at all especially those who are in leading in HQ and Sungai Buloh Warehouse. Very lousy HR personnel that led to demotivation among operational staff.

    Penang3 to 4 years in the role, current employee
    Good place to stay until retired
    The good thingsGood place and nice environment. Benefits for staffs is quite good - medical coverages for whole family, dental for family members, optical, subsidized housing loan, work life balance is quite okay depends on ur department. people are friendly.
    The challengesits just that, need to manage some office politics and old timers (staffs working here for so long so they are not ready for new changes) and also since its main sugar refinery in malaysia so before made decission (stop production etc) must think of our downstream customers supply first. Feel like nak tak nak, need to continue production despite got problems. Career growth is so so, since not many people old people want to resign so competition a bit tought. Imposible to let many people get promotion at once right? if yes, then who's going to be exec/ engineer if others need to get promoted to manager level.

    The challenges- location city centre, so its jam badly. parking hard to find plus expensive, and cafeteria always run out of food, if we dont hurry.

    Great place to learn
    The good thingsMSM is a group that is very sensitive to its workers needs. As a group it is still in the setting up phase where a lot of benefits are given on a ad hoc basis and not to all employees. The company gives us enough room for improvement and advancement and the best part is that the Bonus and EPF contribution are great.
    The challengesSugar is a commodity, and as such most public holidays are working days. Other than that mostly the critacallity of the equipment failures, you would get midnight and odd hours calls, which can be tiring sometimes.
