    a very good company to join as the salary is quite high and competitive in Johor, a lot of good benefits such as medical insurance that cover the whole family, pilgrimage leave once in a life-time, paternity leave and etc. As it located in the middle of nowhere, there is no traffic jammed or congestion.
    The good thingsHigh and competitive salary, very good medical benefits, extra EPF contribution by employer based on years of service.
    The challengeslocation wise as the plant is located in the middle of nowhere, not so many public amenities around such as hospital, malls, and very less public transport available.

    The good thingsThe majority of the workers are incredibly kind and supportive towards us, the interns. They generously offer to teach us everything we're eager to learn, fostering an environment of knowledge-sharing and growth. Their willingness to guide us reflects their genuine commitment to our development and makes our learning experience truly exceptional.
    The challengesThe culture of continuous growth places a certain level of pressure on us, as we are constantly expected to enhance our knowledge and skills. It feels like running a marathon every single day, as everything moves at such a rapid pace. The speed of it all can be overwhelming, but it also pushes us to strive for excellence and embrace the dynamic nature of our work environment.
