Pros

LRT station and working colleagues

Cons

I have worked in various companies and this is the only company where no employee respects the HR department and the HOD and the engineers often bullying HR. The top management also stepped on the HR people and let the HR people be stomped by everyone in this company. Working at here will make you go backwards and HR is a puppet in this company where all the strings are pulled and controlled by the CEO, The Acting CEO @ Finance Bos. We know respect should be earned but there's no one is allowed to earn it. All the non-HR staff disrespects HR. This is the only company, which allows it. CEO screaming, shouting, and humiliating the HR employees in front others is not new. The HR employees here are not allowed to make any decisions. Many think HR here are not any good, but it is because they cannot do the job properly due to the interference from the CEO D.G, the Acting CEO@Finance S.Y.S. This is the only company where the Payroll is being separated from HR and placed under the Finance department, which causes many disputes and discrepancies. This is the only company which fails to pay contract workers after their contract ends. Because of these workers cursing and harassing HR. This is the only company where the budget or the salary range for each position was not given to the recruitment team but they want the recruitment team to quickly hire a suitable candidate. This is the only company where Engineers and Facility Management bosses are approving the salaries for new hiring. The salary which were given to HR employees are toooooo low. Can't believe it. Can't differentiate the salary between Fresh Graduates and those with many years of experience since it's almost the same. Salary were given below market rate for all non-engineers and seriously it doesn't make sense. Does the CEO understand how HR works at other company? Does the CEO aware how much respect is being given to HR at other place? The current CEO always allow the future Ceo Finance bos to make major HR-related decisions and this Finance bos only job is to find faults in HR for every event. If the CEO is allowing the decision-maker to be a Finance person and an Engineering person on HR Matters, I suggest the CEO completely eradicate the HR Department and let the Acting CEO Finance person to take over HR portfolios. Why need to waste money by hiring HR in this company when making HR non-functional? The Acting CEO aka Finance bos is the most conceited, arrogant meddler whom I have ever seen in a corporate workplace in my entire journey, even the person’s own department staff does not like their boss but they cannot do anything about it but tolerate it. This person often interferes in all HR Matters and attacks HR as if HR is the lifelong enemy. This person is so obsessed with HR and wants to take over HR. This person has zero knowledge about HR but yet taking controls of it. Many HR staff and other employees left this company due to the CEO and the Acting CEO S. I am not sure about the roles of the BOD and the Chairman in this company. Are they puppets like HR? I have not seen any action from them to date. The Chairman/BODs should do something to save this company and the staff retention as it was getting worse by the time I left. Is the BOD/Chairman even functional in this company? The HODs, their engineers, their other staffs bullying HR employees in usual basis and then play victim as if HR is the problem when the real fault it's actually from them. Zero respect is being given to HR. When there's something given to them, they will come back to us after 2-3 weeks and then says HR is the cause for delay. Not to forget the HR DGM A. This person does not defend or stand for their department staffs. Unfit to take the lead as an HR Boss. The boss does not defend themselves or defend their own department’s staff when there is no fault and let’s people take advantage of HR. Can’t be working under such leadership. To all the HR job seekers, do not come to this company if you want to be an HR because you will not be an HR in this company but you will be doing something else. No one will respect you. Your mental health will be at its worst.

Pros

Friendly colleague who's being very nice to each other despite working in a toxic environment

Cons

The CEO of this company D who always belittling, screaming, shouting, someone who doesn't give respect, doesn't care about staffs welfare or their mental health. Manipulative. Doesn't understand the reality of outside world. He's a good actor when comes to events. He prefers to go backwards. Too old fashioned company, old building, like working in the year of 2000. The HR Bosses from literally EVERYONE and their staffs are not being helpful at all in resolving disputes and grievance. No one wants to raise complaints to HR because we know these HR people doesn't and can't do anything about it. These HR people are just worst often says its the policy of the company and management's decision. What's the point of having HR when they can't protect an employee well-being. They provide us with a poor medical benefits and poor work life balance. The HOD ZH, NT, ZA, GI will sacrifice their staffs just to save their position. Being rude to their own employees, forcing them work overtime, asking to come to work even when there's an emergency or during MC. The HOD can't stand for their staff and often blames the staffs for their failures whenever something can't be delivered. HOD doesn't have any empathy and doesn't really value their staffs. Too much internal politics and favouritism. Treating their staffs like slaves. The Accounts/Finance boss SY who is a narcissist and the most cunning person. Sometimes I wonder who's the real CEO of this company whether it's him or the current one. This person If he doesn't like someone, he will attack you non-stop, giving you mental torture. A very narcissist toxic person. The CEO seems like getting job orders from this guy and getting advices from him instead of taking his own decision.

It encapsulates a formal grievance resolution process to address any concerns or grievances raised by employees. This process is an independently run process and in the few times it has been invoked it has resulted in mutual acceptance of the resolution initiatives.

Pros

Noting that I can think of it as a positive. This is how bad this company is and I am sure how it will be and from what I heard there is a downsizing plan in the near future. So. Are you really want to gamble your future and willingly to enslave yourself to this no-future company?

Cons

CEO: Leading by example. The one person who is always in a bad mood. Shouting. Swearing. Belittling. Give no respect at all to staff, Doesn't care about staff welfare or their mental health. And the best part. He is the good actor when comes to events and speachs. "Staff Is Our Priority. Empoyer Of Choice". Haha... What a laugh...Not just me, you can read others' reviews as well. CEO is the main culprit. HR: The highest staff turnover. Almost every month got new staff. Why? Because of the not well-managed structures and policies. Then how HR can help other staff? They only can do administration work but not protecting the staff. They just puppet for the top management. HOD: Run division and department as the company as their own. very not supporting at all. All they want is staff complete the task. Why? Because they promised "Bulan Bintang" with the cut throat CEO. Other Entities: The account/finance Manager. Narcissist. Well ... follow the leader style. Ops...sometime more then the CEO. A very toxic person. Promotions: In your dream. If you like to "Kipas" for sure you can excel in this company. Thats how the HOD and Manager done it. It all about favouritism. Yearly appraisal is just paper for ISO. No merit actually implemented. Building? For an engineering company, Misconsult does not portray the image of it. It is similar to a warehouse with an AC unit only. Facilities? average or low standard. Engineering company provide old and slow PC? now people using laptop. Work can be done anywhere. But Minconsult? 1000000 BC workflow. We continue with the micromanaging. From the CEO down to HOD. well. Leads by example. Its OK to management wants to know but they should be provide a positive input. overcome the issues on equal ground. Not shouting.swearing if something went wrong.
