    What’s it like working at Schott Glass (M) Sdn Bhd?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Schott Glass (M) Sdn Bhd appreciate the friendly and supportive colleagues who create a harmonious working environment, along with opportunities to learn and develop skills through training programmes and working with experienced professionals. The company offers good benefits, well-maintained facilities, and an affordable canteen, whilst management is supportive and concerned about worker welfare. Staff value the strong emphasis on safety and the opportunity to work in an international environment with experts from around the globe. Additionally, employees appreciate the autonomy and trust given by management without excessive micromanagement.

    However, there are some potential challenges to consider. Some employees have noted that workload can be heavy with frequent overtime, particularly in certain departments. Staff have indicated that many systems are manual and outdated, which can be time-consuming, and formal training and onboarding could be improved, with employees often needing to learn independently. The approval processes can be slow with a high level of risk aversion, and the role requires staff to work at a fast pace and adapt quickly to new products and global initiatives. Some employees feel that salary increases and benefits for certain roles could be enhanced, and adapting to cultural and process changes can be challenging in a company with a long-established history.
