Employees value the opportunity to gain experience in Japanese corporate culture and work directly with Japanese expatriates at Roland. Colleagues are helpful and supportive, fostering good teamwork and close relationships. The company provides a good learning platform, particularly for fresh graduates in manufacturing or the musical instrument industry. The working environment is generally positive, being healthy, clean, and less stressful, with a balanced work-life approach and opportunities for overtime pay.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as communication with Japanese management requiring time to adapt due to language differences. As a relatively new company in Malaysia, there is limited formal training for new employees, which can make onboarding more challenging. Some employees feel that salary and remuneration packages could be more competitive, with conservative bonuses despite strong company profits. Promotion decisions may lack transparency, with limited opportunities for younger staff. Additionally, working hours can be long, from 8am to 6pm, with regular overtime and Saturday work in some departments.
