    Technical Officer
    Apr 2026
    Bayan Lepas Penang5 to 6 years in the role, former employee
    Bad management and annual increament is mystery. No job promotion and no fairness. Good for fresh.
    The good thingsFlexi working hour with night call and need check work on weekend
    The challengesVery problem management and HR. Promotion and salary had been predetermined for select people. Increment here is very unfair as based on hidden criteria. No job satisfaction and dead end job handling problematic customers with very little training and no backup staff. So even on leave and ph still need monitor email. Never join technical support dept. Co workers are very closed minded and come from difficult to handle arrogant peoples. Join for experience but never for building a career.

    Good work life balance with r@cist management.
    The good thingsWork life balance and good benefits
    The challengescompany culture is not truly inclusive, and there appears to be a lack of equal treatment for employees from diverse r@cial backgrounds. It seems that individuals who are not part of the majority group are often treated as temporary or less valued members of the team. lack of direct feedback on my performance. Issues are not addressed until the annual review, and when feedback is given, it often results in an unexpected negative evaluation with no prior warning or opportunity for improvement. I believe that a truly diverse and inclusive workplace should provide equal treatment, transparency, and clear communication to all employees, regardless of their background. NI failed to do so.

    Friendly workplace but nothing is perfect
    The good thingsFriendly co-workers and good culture. A lot of team engagement meeting or events.
    The challengesSome of those who work longer in the company /team are arrogant, over-confident and always think they are right. I mean some of them, not all. A lot of night calls and extra work hours needed but depends on your project timeline. Less considerate when come to meeting schedule.

    Ample Potential for Growth
    The good thingsThe company provides a lot of opportunities for employees to empower themselves with knowledge and skills, prove their worth by embarking on projects that solve problems for internal and external customers, and have a good work-life balance.
    The challengesThere isn't much to complain about. You do need to strive to stand out so that your ideas can be heard, especially if you're interested in pursuing new challenges within your job role, but that is to be expected in any organization.

    Its a great place to work, if only everyone is given a fair amount,
    The good thingsThe environment was nice, benefits was quite a lot, my coworkers was an awesome bunch. Overall its a great place to work if money isn't an issue but this is to be expected of OEMs.
    The challengesTo be frank, I wish I was compensate more as the work I'm doing isn't small and also it takes a lot of effort and commitments to get the job done.
