My Internship Experience at Syarikat OngThe good thingsMonths ago, I did my internship in HR & here's my thoughts which I believe I should share to everyone on my internship journey so that you can have a great experience like mine as well :
1. Comprehensive HR Exposure:
- My internship covered all HR functions, providing a holistic understanding of the field.
- I had the opportunity to get hands-on experience in areas I was interested in and needed to learn to build my HR career.
- My supervisor, Yen was supportive and ensured I was exposed to relevant HR tasks and processes. She did try her best to fulfill all the knowledge that I want to know.
- I get to learn all the things that I used to learn during my degree in HR including recruitment, performance management, HR Operations and many more!
2. Learning Opportunities:
- The company offers excellent opportunities to gain extensive knowledge across various HR functions.
- I participated in internal training sessions, including one related to company secretarial work. Although not directly tied to HR, I found it valuable in understanding the company’s broader operations, especially as the company is expanding and hiring for multiple roles. (Since I did the recruitment process, I find it more clear to understand candidate resume when I went thru their JD)
3. Employee Engagement & Workplace Culture:
- The company actively promotes employee engagement through events and celebrations such as:
Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, and Birthday Celebrations
Annual Dinner, Token Day and other special occasions
- The inclusive and festive atmosphere makes for a positive working environment.
- Last Token Day, we went to OU to play bowling & had a nice dinner at a 4 star hotel.
4. Facilities & Convenience:
- The office is well-equipped with a pantry that includes:
Microwave, fridge, snacks, and drinks
- The building is strategically located near public transport which is near to KL Sentral, making commuting easy.
- There is a café with affordable price on level 12 and a surau for Muslim employees, ensuring convenience during lunch and prayer times.
5. Overall Experience:
- The office environment is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable.
- The internship provided valuable knowledge and skills that I believe will benefit my HR career moving forward.
- The allowance provided is RM1000 which is great for an intern! Can buy sephora + eat sukiya ady >_<
The challengesOverall, I highly recommend this company for those seeking comprehensive learning experiences and a supportive environment during their internship. Thank you Syarikat Ong for this amazing opportunities!!
