      Just OK

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is decent but below market value for a chemical manufacturing plant. The workload is reasonable.

      Cons

      Too much emphasis on seniority, lack of diversity (gender & race), nepotism. Not great on-boarding and training. Very much trial by fire.

      Simple but manual jobs

      Process technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Simple process for those starting out in this line - Small plant and able to familiarise with most areas within a year - Not much troubleshooting required - Good teamwork and support from colleagues during training phase or even normal working phase - Good health, medical, leisure, and many other benefits - Some OT available every month for those who seek OT

      Cons

      - Basic salary and bonus can be better - Mismanagement by production planners may occur from time to time that requires technicians to do extra workload or manage the production schedule safely but urgently - Not much difference between senior tech and normal technician - Not much training was given for technicians transferred to DCS panel man job - Job can be very physical and tiring especially for loading and unloading technician as there are days when you have no support from colleagues

      Pros

      The pay is fine and the offices are well-equipped.

      Cons

      Although they claim they are big on diversity and Openness is one of their core values, diplomacy is advisable at all times.
