    Underpaid and Limited Career Progression
    The good thingsChance to interact with HQ and gain some international exposure
    The challengesYoung team with limited experience, making it harder to get guidance or references. Communication with HQ can be challenging due to language differences (Japanese-style English). Salary, bonus, and increment are relatively low and decided mainly by the MD, with limited transparency. Despite strong company profits, employee rewards are quite conservative. Overall, not ideal if you are looking for competitive pay or fast growth.

    A great place to begin your career and develop your skills
    The good thingsworking experience in a Japanese corporate culture. on-time salary payments, and good teamwork.
    The challengesThe Japanese-English communication can be hard to understand at first. Besides, promotions and salary increases seem to be influenced by favoritism. There are many reasons given for decisions, which can be challenging to navigate. Lack of fairness in how opportunities are awarded.

    Good kickstart for fresh grad
    The good thingsGood platform to learn. Roland is the first musical instrument manufacturing company in Malaysia. Basically, bosses and expatriates are empathy and appreciate your effort. If you wish to learn something new in manufacturing or musical line, Roland is a very good place. Colleagues are generally helpful and understanding. A very good working environment indeed!
    The challengesSalary and remuneration package is not so good. The working hour is too long. (8am-6pm)
