Pros

• Competitive salary for fresh graduates • Comprehensive technical knowledge gain (Many great specialists) • Flexible work hours

Cons

• Remuneration not competitive after 2-3 years inside company and Malaysia employees are treated second class employees (Yearly adjustments lower than inflation rate) • Yearly performance review (PDS) very flawed & outdated (Ranking are based on internal politics & not actual contributions) • Career planning is nil, only way you will get leadership team attention is through resignation notice (By then they will offer you subpar assignment before recalling you back to KLTC after 2-3 years and you are back to bad roles in KLTC) • Work becomes very mundane, and rotation of roles is very slow (You will be looking at the same set of charts for the next 3-4 years without any chance of advancement) • Sugar coating culture is very prominent here (HR and leadership team have pointless employee forums as they have template answers for all employees, don’t have it the first place if its template answers !) • Company direction very outdated, leadership team only started to buy into idea of renewable fuels & CCR after some of board members were voted out !

Pros

Good pay and a pension

Cons

Everything else. Benefits are lackluster, Flex Your Day policies are elusive. The company changes everything all the time so that a large portion of your time is spent finding new links to things on the portal, figuring out who to contact in various departments and in what country just to get a simple answer to a question. No one stays in the same role long enough to get good at their job. Morale is terrible.
