    Other than QS work, you have to handle another business
    The good thingsnice and helpful colleagues to assist your works
    The challengesCompany should more concern about their working mood in this company, don't just simply to increase their workload more than their capability. Company should more honest to tell interviewers about their job scope because after they get into this company but the job scope doesn't match with the job scopes during interview.

    Very very bad company
    The good thingsYou can learn a lot of things. But.. by yourself.
    The challengesWorking time almost 12 hours a day. No balance lifestyle. No safety environment. Boss gives a lot of work but not briefing anything about that particular work. Politic everywhere. Fresh grad you can get alot of money in this company but im sure you will not stay even 1 month. Stop wasting your time, find another company

    Working experience is great but your health is more important!
    The good thingsFlexible lunch hour and great on-site experiences
    The challengesThe job itself was just okay, but the environment, the people, the management, the communication between workers is insanely unacceptable. Opinions/suggestion/improvement are almost unsound. Working process is complicated and so so so inefficient. It's already year 2021 but why do they work like we are in 90's ? Top management should always look out for ways to work in a healthy environment, high efficiency and a happy mind. And every employee has the right to be fairly treated!

    POOR MANAGEMENT AND UNHEALTHY WORKING ENVIRONMENT
    The good thingsAs a fresh graduate, a lot of things can be learn but in your own way or by yourself. Colleagues a very friendly and quite helpful.
    The challengesHonestly there are a lot of bad things than good. First, unhealthy/stressful working environment because of extra work loads, no training or guidance, the work flow is not systematic, working hours more than 8 hours (8am-7pm) without OT and the management dislike people who clock out early or sharp at 7pm. Public holiday given only 11 days and annual leave 8 days per year despite a very long working hours. Next is poor management because they still stick to their old management ways and often neglect to new suggestion or improvement. Slow progress and a lot of defects for all projects because of poor training, poor coordination between the project team, improper work sequence, unskilled worker and lack of sources (machineries, materials and etc). Many staff resigned within a year but management team have not taken a serious action on this matters seriously.

    Stressful working enviroment with very demanding superiors
    The good thingsProvide guidance, but not in proper manner. Expect you to learn by yourself in general. Not suitable for fresh grads.
    The challengesStressful working enviroment and lack of job security. The reason for high turnover rates is due to bosses frequently laying off workers. Lack of proper handover of task due to high turnover.

    Be prepared to work long hours in a tough environment. However, it is a good learning experience for fresh graduates who can handle the hardship
    The good thingsPushes you to the limit and teaches you to solve problems on your own. Bosses will provide good opportunities if you are willing to work and learn. Good training for fresh graduates who can handle hardship and able to multitask.
    The challengesEmployees need to be prepared of the working hours as there is little to no work life balance. Lack in management as there is no set management system on site.

    Poor management and stressful working environment
    The good thingsFriendly colleagues and salary consider high.
    The challengesWorst management with "old school" style which does not improve and upgrade themselves by listening to people opinions. Heavy workload with less manpower. Feel stressful while working since you will be given a lot of work even though you are just a fresh graduate. There are no training given and everyone is busying with their work and no extra time to teach you. Need to learn everything yourself and still need to follow up your work even when you are off. Always OT without any paid! Just an advice THINK TWICE BEFORE GET IN!

    Junior, Dont jump into the H e l
    The good thingsActually, you can learn many things in this company by YOURSELF, you can learn nothing from senior. If really learn something from them, you will receive a devastating blow to youself-confidence.
    The challengesYou are a calculator, not a QS. As you forced to follow their instruction to carry out the figure which they want. If failed it, they will consider fresh graduate cant withstand challengs. This company too many " challenges", need write a thesis.
