    Special Officer
    May 2026
    Tanjung Malim Perak2 to 3 years in the role, former employee
    Important to verify responsibilities carefully and not depend on promises
    The good thingsgood place to learn
    The challengesThe Special Officer title can be misleading. The role is largely administrative and operates more as a PA to a China boss. There is a noticeable mismatch between the job title and daily responsibilities. Recommend candidates to ask detailed questions and understand the real expectations before joining.

    I enjoy the positive work culture and team environment, despite a layered & inefficient structure.
    The good thingsI enjoy the working environment and friends, lots of event for employee engagement.
    The challengesThe organization has too many hierarchical layers, then HOD/managers mainly pass down info instead of taking ownership. Executives end up handling most of the actual work. Also, workload not tally with the salary compensation.

    PA & Special OfficerThere are many open position with Proton. Please don't join as Special Officer! Else you will suffer and regret for your whole life. Read the job content carefully and think wisely! Don't listen to any promise!

    The other reviews are coming from people who never work in another company
    The good thingsSurrounded by nature, friendly colleagues, very good work life balance
    The challengesJob duties exceed the responsibilities associated with your job title and level of seniority compared to other companies. Salary and compensation are subpar for the workload. Promises of promotions and career advancement are rarely fulfilled, leading to disgruntled senior colleagues. Employee benefits are misrepresented or come with significant caveats and restrictions. Senior colleagues often lack up-to-date technical skills despite their domain-specific knowledge. Imagine having job title as senior cleaner but cannot clean and dont even know how to use a mop.

    Giant Company in Malaysia but lack of opportunities to grow in here.
    The good thingsMedical and EPF benefit is pretty good here. Love the activities held by the Proton Club. The circles and networking are awesome.
    The challengesThe competition and room to "shine" is kinda tight in here. Salary Upgrading is almost impossible (2014-2021). The "old-minded" bosses and top management cause all the great talent left for better development and satisfaction.
