Pros
  • Good bonus payouts for G7 and above employees.
  • One of the best C&B in Penang and Kulim.
Cons
  • Bureaucracy, laden with inflexible/unnecessary processes, means you need to please everyone to get one small thing done.
  • Stingy on resources; ambitious to move a mountain with one legion of an army of ants (that's it!). Management is disconnected with the working level and doesn't know what's on the ground.
  • If you are G8+, you will notice more talkers than doers. Work-life balance depends on which side you are on.
  • For G8+/G9+, you can forget about career advancement/development.
Advice to Management

Mid-level management should hit the ground running. There is a large gap between management and the working level. Be very clear on what can be done and what is needed to make something happen.
