Another Year, But Getting WorseThe good thingsBenefits are good, they provide mobile phone with data plan, vision allowance, medical check-up allowance, replacement leave if Public Holidays fall on the weekends, company trip, company annual dinner. Despite the economy is getting worse, they still remains all these without any cut.
The challengesThe working environment and culture here is very bad. Favoritism. There is no direction or clear guideline for everyone regarding what to achieve. Everyone shares the same increment and bonus be it you perform or not, which is very unfair. This is a Japanese company hence the hierarchy is very important. Certain things need many level of approval to get through and cause delay.The saying power and control is by Japanese not local, hence the promotion are not given to Malaysians but they rather recruit from Japan and be our superior, some with little or no experience to lead us. The locals are not getting along well, which split by races. They are no proper process and procedures for each division and team to follow. The locals are not willing to help each other and being calculative when it comes to work and tasks. Working hours are based on client, which is 8.30am to 6.30pm. No career advancement, no work satisfaction, live day by day. High turnover rate, all pioneer and senior have left.
