Employees at Perdana Petroleum Berhad appreciate the friendly colleagues and good teamwork environment, as well as the compensation and benefits offered, including timely salary payments, meal allowances, and high EPF contributions. The company provides opportunities to learn about the oil and gas industry, including knowledge of vessels and navigational arts, and employees have the chance to travel to many places while working on offshore assignments.
However, some potential challenges include maintaining a work-life balance due to extended periods away from family while working offshore, concerns about workplace safety, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, with employees being required to work on-site despite positive cases in the office, the potential for a lack of variety in the work environment, and the challenging nature of offshore work due to the high-risk nature of the job and the impact of sea conditions on vessels.
