    Protege Trainee
    Dec 2025
    Kuching SarawakLess than 1 year in the role, current employee
    Decent Workplace, but Limited Learning for Fresh Graduates
    The good thingsStaff are friendly, approachable, and supportive. Positive and comfortable working environment.
    The challengesNo permanent staff assigned to properly guide Protégés in management. Protégés are expected to handle tasks very independently with minimal supervision. Not suitable for learning or structured development for management Protégés. Management often leaves Protégés to self-learn without proper onboarding or training. Heavy reliance on Protégés to fill manpower gaps instead of hiring permanent management staff. Protégés are sometimes assigned tasks outside their job scope, especially when staff take leave or resign. This creates situations where management has no stable person to rely on, leading them to push tasks to Protégés or other staff whose roles do not match the tasks given. No clear career growth, long-term pathway, or opportunity to be absorbed. Organization frequently renews new Protégés instead of building a stable team.

    Less than 1 year in the role, former employee
    I GET A NEW EXPERIENCE FROM THEIR STAFF HOW TO MAINTENANCE THE HELICOPTER FOR EVERY PART..
    The good thingsTHEIR STAFF IS VERY KIND IN HELPING ME IN LEARNING ALL THIS NEW EXPERIENCE. I FEEL SO HAPPY TO BE THERE TO HELP THEM TO MAINTENANCE THE HELICOPTER. THEIR STAFF IS VERY RESPONSIBLE AS THEY ALWAYS MAKE SURE WE ALWAYS UNDERSTAND AND LEARN EVERYTHING AT THERE. THE BEST PART IS WHEN I WAS GIVEN A TASK TO MAINTENANCE THE WHOLE HELICOPTER FOR A WEEK. WE HAVE TO CHECK EVERYTHING FROM A SMALL PART UNTIL THE BIG PART. TAIL, BODY, ROTOR, AND ALSO INTERIOR CABIN IS THE BEST PART FOR ME TO HANDLE IT. THANK YOU.
    The challengesTHE CHALLENGE IS WHEN WE DOING INTERN AT THERE, THE COMPANY HAS TO GOING THROUGH 5 S INSPECTION. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON BOTH WORK. DO THE MAINTENANCE OF HELICOPTER AND AT THE SAME TIME LEARN NEW THINGS FROM MANAGEMENT PART. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME AS WE MUST FOLLOW THE SCHEDULE TIGHTLY AND CANNOT DO ANY MISTAKE.

    Friendly Staff but Company management is weak
    The good thingsI love working here, all are good and friendly. They teach you whenever you need help.
    The challengesTo get promotion or higher position is hard here unless you have a good relationship with the superior or execs. Not all but most of them. Company management and hierarchy system also not very efficient.

    Place for internship or fresh graduate
    The good thingsFor new internship student like myself, i think it is a good place for me to learn new things about aircraft especially some basic ground handling and maintenance activities.
    The challengesIf the aircraft need to be release tomorrow, any maintenance activities involved need to be done until it were finished although working time has been exceeded.

    Senior accounts executive
    Jan 2017
    5 to 6 years in the role, former employee
    Starting as one of the pioneer five years ago, many things learned during the early days of the company
    The good thingsReally enjoyed working in the company without supervision by superiors. We were given the opportunity to give any suggestion and make a decision on a matter and get the responsibility on it. I believe the salary paid is commensurate with the academic qualifications and experience of each person. Hence for me, the company paid the highest salary in Kelantan so far together with others benefit.
    The challengesEvery employee should be given the opportunity to develop their careers, which will help them in promotion at work later and to keep their knowledge updated. Intervention of management is only needs for decision making and not to siding any parties involved. This will help employee to learn more on responsibility on what they have done or decided regardless of result.
