Pros
  1. Great exempt-level employees to work with.
  2. Depending on departments, a great work-life balance.
  3. Great managers are around to teach and guide.
  4. Superb yearly profit sharing.
  5. Technicians and operators are friendly and willing to teach.
Cons
  1. Internal Politics - Multiple Directors are one-sided for yearly appraisals. Race-based evaluation is evident in selected departments.

  2. HR & Compensation is weak - continuous benefit reduction over the years.

  3. Ethics complaints are unattended.

  4. High turnover rate for senior execs due to imbalanced wages / unfair treatment.

  5. High percentage of New College Graduate (NCG) hiring to replace junior/senior execs - contributing to internal process collapse, higher stress to other existing employees & requiring other senior engineers/managers to teach newcomers.

Advice to Management

The US Management Team should start interviewing local TIM / TIeM employees to truly understand the struggles of employees at Malaysia.
