    Good company but weak leadership - taken over by Repsol now
    The good thingsThe camaraderie, teamwork, salary, and bonus is good. There are also many opportunities to work internationally - I have had 4 opportunities to travel to the HQ in Calgary and be on assignment there for several months. Locally in Malaysia, the team works well, we made money and spend prudently. We have lots of fun at work too. Hence why I worked there for more than 10 years.
    The challengesThe leadership, starting from John Manzoni the ousted CEO, made many wrong choices for Talisman and brought the company close to bankruptcy until it was being taken over by Repsol. Some regional and local leadership have issues too - we sometimes wonder how they even become leaders. Benefits are quite basic, so don't expect it to be comparable to the big companies like Shell, Exxon or PETRONAS.

    My best employer so far
    The good thingsBenefits are good. Flexibility to work in here is great. Besides that, managers here will help your promotion if you have the right working attitude. Employee communication is great too. By the way, they often give early release before the big day of public holiday such as Chinese New Year. Salary is great compare other company. Increment is the best I have among all other companies that I work.
    The challengesThere are no live messaging communication within the office. Most of the time, when need to contact the user we will need to either call them, email them or meet them personally to solve their issue if they are in local. Hope this works well now. Working in the central of KL which is at Ampang is full of jam and parking is so hard everyday and expensive. Foods is hard to find nearby as well.
