hi all..
anyone heard about this company?by the way i've got an interview at this company..any opinion about this company?

They r a Japanese engineering company specialized in automation (DCS), instrumentation etc. I heard they pay peanuts.

They pay real peanuts, benefits wise is reasonable though.

Which department you applied for? Their service & system engineer position is always available whole year round. Sales engineer position also vacant pretty often.

how about the working environment there?actually i got for the assistant engineer post..how about the allowance n benefit?

Assistant engineer for what department?

Executive or engineer level starts at level 7 (assistant post maybe level 6, i cannot be sure), there is a position allowance which is included as your basic salary. Mileage (0.70 sen/km) & handphone on claim. Outstation allowance is RM 45 per day. Benefits are pretty standard, plus with hospitalization & also dental (limit depending on your position). Starting annual leave should be 14 days. For sales department there is also a special handphone purchase claim up to RM 500, after you are confirmed.

i got interview for assistant engineer..next week i have 2 interviews..one for this job at yokogawa and the other one at western digital for technician job..which one is better for salary n benefits?

Should be western digital better in benefits. Salary wise, I am not sure because generally technician is a lower post than assistant engineer.

ok..thanks..if u were me which one u will choose?any advise?

The position allowance was a gimmick. It is actually part of your basic salary. For examply, RM 2k basic salary agreed when interview. But actually in real, they will tell you as RM RM 1900 basic salary + RM 100 position allowance.

Added on January 16, 2010, 7:09 pmDepends on your career objective.

Yokogawa is pretty stable & never heard of any retrenchment before. But salary is pretty below average. Benefits are average. As assistant enginer, you probably need to help on DCS & instrumentation systems/projects commissioning.

WD I heard of retrenchment few times before. Benefits should be really better, assuming salary wise as well. Technician post, I guees you are involved in various plant maintenance & etc.

oh really?just like that..is there OT for assinstant engineer?

I am not sure. Probably yes for anything below executive or engineer level.

it i s difficult to make decision..this is my 1st time..for geting experience which one is better despite of the salary?

Different experience. One in plant & another one is sort of like project implementation/commissioning style

which one is good? plant or project implementation?but assistant engineer is higher than tecnician ryte?

This one you need to decide yourself. And yes, assistant engineer position should be higher

what is the scope of project implemantation?
