      MNC company handled like a SMC

      Senior process technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good salary and benefits + high OT rate

      Cons

      Below market starting salary, there is no way to play catch up no matter how good your performance is as it the same increment throughout the same grade you are at (L5 to L9). Can be demoralizing during the first few years. Some experienced hires with less than 3-5 years experience (no panel) already higher basic than those working for over 10 years.

      Bad career progression with poor local mid managment

      Senior process technologist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary package good for the first few years.

      Cons

      Little career advancement opportunities, especially in the technical space. People who perform well typically get stuck in their role with poor reasons given not to promote them. Prefer to bring in expat than promote locals who are more than qualified. Fast career progression depends on who you know, even if you are not a performing employee. Salary package is good for the role, but not for the years of experience. People with tons of experience are unable to move up the career ladder. HR is blind to all these as they are only concerned with benchmarking for the role.

      Another boy's club

      Transformation change manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Sense of camaraderie with other colleagues going through the same thing.

      Cons

      Like stepping back into the 70's. Awful attitude to women, dreadful hot-desking arrangements, incompetent people to manage. Plenty of bullying - despite the D&I initiatives, no real inclusion. No advancement for women. Multiple reports of sexual harassment on a day to day basis.
