    Overall working experience there is great! Greenery environment and food quality are one of a kind.
    The good things1. The office environment is the best. It is a big leadership centre with modern interior and aesthetic design, with exterior greenery where you can walk around and enjoy the view. 2. The food are also affordable and tasty. The chefs and catering staffs are from one of the known hospitality service, so you can expect the food like you eat at the hotel restaurant. 3. The colleagues are supportive. They are willing to help, energetic and positive that makes the working condition here fun and bearable.
    The challenges1. The higher ups and management. The way of working of the managers and higher up bosses can be overwhelming, in regards to overexerting pressure, constant long hours of meeting, and micromanaging. They have a very high expectations and big dreams, often resulting in lack of empathy and awareness of their subordinate well-being. 2. The work can be repetitive. Most of the tasks are administrative and operation-heavy, and opportunities to learn real skills are not a lot there. If you are young and seeking growth to your skills and experience, this place is not for you to stay a long time. 3. The bosses play favourites. You can get to their good side if you can cater to your boss's needs, even get more opportunities and benefits if you can match their preferences. The way of your words can determine that regardless of your competencies.

    Transformative Experience in High-Standard Corporate Governance and Operations.
    The good thingsI genuinely enjoyed working at Petronas because it operates at a world-class standard with strong governance, compliance, and performance culture. Being entrusted to manage thousands of critical project documents annually strengthened my leadership, accountability, and risk management capabilities. I also valued the exposure to multinational stakeholders and cross-functional teams, which enhanced my strategic communication skills. Contributing to high-impact oil & gas projects in such a reputable organization gave me both professional growth and a strong sense of pride.
    The challengesAt Petronas, the key challenge in document control is managing a high volume of critical project documentation under strict governance and audit requirements. While the processes ensure strong compliance and quality, they can sometimes impact turnaround time due to multiple approval layers. I believe further enhancement in workflow automation and cross-functional alignment would significantly improve efficiency, without compromising control standards.

    Despite the challenges, I value my experience at PETRONAS and hope to have the opportunity to return once the recruitment freeze is lifted.
    The good thingsThe working environment was very supportive and positive, fostering good teamwork and collaboration. The compensation offered was competitive, especially for fresh graduates, making it a great starting point for career growth. There were also plenty of employee engagement activities that helped create a strong sense of community and belonging within the workplace.
    The challengesAs a contract staff, I was assigned responsibilities and workload similar to that of permanent employees, but without access to equivalent benefits or job security. Although there was an initial assurance of potential conversion to permanent status with at least 6 months’ prior notice on contract decisions, the retrenchment came unexpectedly and with short notice. This created a challenging situation where I had to urgently seek new employment, competing with other experienced hires facing similar circumstances.

    Good experience, but some things could be improved
    The good thingsAs a GEES, I'm thankful for having a helpful and supportive supervisor, many things to learn and the seniors are very helpful and cooperative. When you made a mistake, people usually would understand that you are new to the work and would correct you nicely, then give you a chance to grow.
    The challengesIf you're just a trainee, sometimes you'd feel excluded since you'll get little to zero benefits than what the staffs are getting. Could be disheartening at times, especially as you were often among the first to be approached when volunteers were needed for events.

    I would eagerly welcome the opportunity to gain further experience with PETRONAS in the future. It was truly one of the most valuable and enriching learning experiences of my journey into the corporate world.
    The good thingsI learnt diverse scope of jobs during my Protege-GEES program. Despite my major in Graphic Design, I also get the chance to assist my manager and executive doing a project, communicate with third-party, get exposure more on corporate life. It was a great experience for me.
    The challengesOne of my challenges was, time management, I was struggling between few tasks at one time. But I managed by setting up a prioritization, and get it done on time. Other than that, I feel like I was lack in communication skills, but thankfully I have the best supportive manager and colleagues where they made me do it and put their trust on me.

    Despite reminding you to work only for 8 hours, they still expect you to work overtime.
    The good thingsyou will meet people with various backgrounds unrelated to their current job position, bringing unique perspectives and skills that enrich their current roles. There are many benefits (depending on the team) and generous holidays provided.
    The challengesSometimes, diverse backgrounds and skills can slow task progress due to miscommunication. There is a strong focus on reaching KPIs, but hands-on tasks are often passed to lower-level staff, leading to overwork and responsibilities beyond their job scope. Also, I have observed instances of unfairness among races towards others in the team.
