Pros

- Good co-workers across department. Choose wisely. Most of them are quite cooperative. - five years in this company, i managed to built networking in chemical industry from small company until to Fortune 500 company. a lot of thing can be learn by yourself - I am allowed to be independent for the first two years under my great manager who left the company after that.

Cons

- There's no clear guidance from upper level. - No opportunities for career development and learning curve became stagnant after two years of working - Slowly purchasing department in Malaysia are losing their authority to make decision as manager in HQ Taiwan wants to control everything. - Your opinion are not wlecome as mostly Taiwanese think their opinion always right and others are wrong, - If you mess with this manager, your life will suffer - Most of the HOD lack of experience in leading their team. Some of them really a yes man some of them really good in leading their team.

Pros

This depends on the section, but overall: - Colleagues are generally friendly and easy to work with. - Training and guidance are provided, including for fresh graduates, as long as individuals are willing to learn and put in the effort. - Employees who are proficient in Mandarin may find it easier to navigate communication, particularly in environments involving headquarters or cross-regional discussions. - Replacement leave (RL) is calculated in 0.5-hour units, which provides flexibility when taking time off for personal or urgent matters without heavily impacting annual leave.

Cons

Again, the experience may vary depending on the section. Overall: - There are noticeable internal challenges in communication and collaboration across different levels (operators, engineers, and supervisors), including within the same team. - A large proportion of employees are fresh graduates, which may result in limited experience and could affect overall workflow efficiency. - The standard working hours are 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM (with a 1-hour lunch break), which is slightly longer than a typical 8-hour workday. While the salary range for fresh graduates (approximately RM3.5K–RM4K) may appear competitive, it aligns more closely with market average when adjusted for working hours. Additionally, there is a difference in Friday break duration, where Muslim male staff are given extended time for prayers. - Management-level roles are primarily held by expatriates, while supervisory roles are largely filled by long-serving local staff. In practice, meetings involving headquarters are frequently conducted in Mandarin, which may pose challenges for employees who are not proficient in the language, particularly in understanding discussions and receiving information directly. This can impact communication flow within certain teams. - Some management decisions appear to be influenced by practices from other regions, without always being fully adapted to local regulatory and operational contexts. There are opportunities to strengthen alignment with local requirements. - The digital working environment is relatively fragmented, with multiple platforms used for different functions (e.g. email, documentation, meetings, and file sharing). This may create inconvenience for those who prefer a more centralized system. Overall, the company can be a suitable place to gain initial experience, but may present challenges for long-term growth depending on individual preferences, particularly in terms of communication and working environment.
