Pros

• Highly reputable company. Good look on your resume. • Good team support in your work and resourceful. You can find most simulation software that you have been using in university. • Work-life balance. • Solid R&D work environment for my role; can get exposure to the latest innovation. • Good exposure in the semiconductor industry. • Rewards for great work performance. • Encouragement for further education.

Cons

• Location in Kulim, Kedah. Far for KL people like me, have to rent a room. • No convenient public transport, have to drive. • If considering just local currency, salary is acceptable. But if converted to overseas currency, salary is not impressive. That's why some might choose to work in another country. In short, it's a good workplace in Malaysia, but you might be able to earn more by working overseas. • If you know about the semiconductor field, most advanced studies and technology like wafer packaging are at the US site. Malaysia is focusing more on assembly and testing of electronics packaging. However, some investment has come into Malaysia recently to develop advanced packaging capability, but there are years to wait.

Advice to Management

I guess it depends on the team and the business. So far, I am satisfied with my manager and the team.
