    Engineering Role
    Mar 2026
    Penang Island Penang3 to 4 years in the role, former employee
    Survived working there for 2years+ because I have to. Luckily I managed to get new job now.
    The good thingsCan't think any for now
    The challengesStarted with attached to HQ in Penang Island, then moved to BK early last year. No additional allowances were given for the additional cost of travel. Management do not care about the employee, very stingy when comes to spending for employees. Safety of the technicians/engineers are at big stake. No proper safety PPE provided. Need to climb up 10ft height machine without any safety harness. No planning at all. Higher level management only listen to their favorites' Manager words, never bother lower level staff.

    Suitable for those who search for a flexible working time, loves to work OT and stay within their comfort zone.
    The good thingsGreat career development on every sectors. Get to travel locally and abroad and work with local and MNC customer. Get to work with large team members.
    The challengesOver commit to customer on machine capability. Lack of technical knowledge on fulfilling customer's requirement. Lack of experience(try & error) in machine design causing design completion date overdue with no/weak corrective action. Inaccurate simulation during design stage ended up generating lots or rework part, affect machine production and delivery date, machine under performance, loss trust from customer. Do not practice continuous improvement. Lack of motivation and direction within internal team, team members are working on instruction instead of objective. Need a lot of baby-siting to the team members, cannot work independently with showing needed follow up. A lot more to improve at machine build quality.

    Great place to build up career
    The good thingsFriendly working environment. Awesome employee benefits with exam leaves, 90 days maternity leaves, quarterly incentives, etc.
    The challengesI take the fast pace environment positively. It as a challenge to myself for better achievement! In terms of work life balance, I'd say every human being is intelligent to balance things in life. Time management is something to learn in our entire life!
