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?

Added on January 16, 2010, 6:58 pmi dont know which department..they didnt mention about that..how much the position allowance?is it worth working there?

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?

Hi bro, I got an invitation interview for System Engineer at Yokogawa Eletric.
By reading from previous post can tell me System engineer is in and out. Maybe because of pressure? bosses?

By the way, I was majored in Control & Instrumentation. Well, this is good chance to try. Now still working in Semiconductor company. Also Japanese company.

My enquire is,
1. Does System engineer (YEM) always go offshore? If go offshore, got extra pay or not?
2. Initial pickup training provided? Sorry man, my knowledge in DCS getting faded.
3. 2 years experience can demand 3k basic?
4. Does AutoCAD, Excel, Microsoft project, Japanese language really help?

Thanks in advance.

Not always offshore especially YEM. But recently quite a lot of oppurtunities to go commissioning if you are a senior . About the basic salary, I am sorry to say that most employees 3 years experience also can't get the amount you are asking and they are the performing type. So good luck to you.

you working for Yokogawa huhh?

now yokogawa take in system/application engineer?

got interview at yokogawa system engineer next week..currently working as instrument engineer at perwaja holding...dunno they can offer better or not..huhu

I also got interview with yokogawa..can i ask if we go to offshore how much they will pay us per day? for onshore how much? and then where we'll stay when we go to offshore?

Added on June 9, 2012, 7:48 pmanyone who work with yokogawa? or anyone who work from other company, how much they will pay for offshore?

This post has been edited by msm86: Jun 9 2012, 07:48 PM

Yokogawa having a massive recruitment eh? A lot new big project coming and try to do it with all fresh grads? Oh my god...

Rm 60 - 90 per day onshore.
Rm 150 per day offshore.

If offshore for sure u will stay on the platform LQ or sometimes a work barge. Depends on the project arrangement

anyone got the position that was interviewed recently?

Anyone knows the pay at Yokogawa now?

hi, i just went for an interview. normally they took how long to reply if they want you? I'm applying sales engineer.

I am new recruited by this company as system engineer. b4 comfirmation is RM2300 after is RM2500.
Hope this help u ^^

How many yrs exp b4 joining yokogawa

I am fresh graduate join. I din join yt and i will join in after few month. So i dun understand tis company so well.

the environment good? erm.. the pay still low.. haha...

May low abit coz i fresh grad....if u gt work exp thr must be higher.

True, this field kinda good pay if you have experience.. hehe.. =))

RM2.5k is ok for fresh grads cause this is your learning stage. If you're in GI department, u might have chance to go oustation within a year of working. And u can get site allowance to boost up your monthly salary. i.e: Rm2.5k (basic) + RM3k (site allowance) = RM5k+. Good enough?

While if you're in Marine or doing Offshore, u might need be in office for a year before u can mobilize to platform/vessel. Of course Offshore project would give u better allowance. I can say, doubled from GI department. i.e: RM2.5k (basic) + RM6k(site allowance) = RM8k+. A lot?
Note: Allowance calculated based on one month site work.

Bonus wise.
1st year : 0.5~1.0 month
2nd year : 1.5~2.5 month
3rd year : 3~4 month
And don't ask about increment, u will cry. Management is so so, can't bring out much of youngster talent nowadays.

For all, Yokogawa is the place to learn before end user (Shell, Petronas, Exxon) absorb u in their company.

wow bro!! Dun blow water here....haha! Fresh entry only 2.2k..... allowance where got "so HAI"

He mentioned fresh graduate needs to gain experience within a year in order to get the chance to outstation or offshore. Besides that, 3k monthly allowance considered high or "So Hai"(in your word)?

What is the point to purposely create a new ID for posting such insulting reply? Are you working in Yokogawa?

This post has been edited by speedguy10: Apr 26 2013, 01:18 PM

brat, I was in Yokogawa for 3 years now. I was giving current year info and I've no time to blow water here. Your point is?

Hi, how about finance post in your organisation ?

is the working environment will be very stress ?

May I know how long does it take for this company to get back to you after the second interview ? Roughly ...

what position u apply?

guys

got second intrview in YISS wit HR..normally what the question talk about??? need some advise..

Hi guys..need ur help..I just got interview with yokogawa electric next week as system eng. May I know what should I prepare for the interview and questions that might be asked during the interview. Currently working as project engineer for almost 4months la..still fresh grad but my work Involved with plc, scada but not really in dcs. What is my chance in getting this position? Need ur advise. Tq

PLC programming concept consider same in some part of Yokogawa DCS and if you know SCADA, then you're 70% on this system engineering. Pretty easy for you to pick up I believe.

Be confident during Q&A session and goreng it nicely.

Applied system engineer with YEM? Then you're either in Engineering - General Industry or Engineering - Marine.

Anyway good luck.

Interview keyword: I'm fast learner, I'm very hardworking, I will do all kind of shit task and I will never give up.


p/s: Please demand higher salary. I was kinda sad seeing fresh getting low pay with our current country expenses.

Yup .im apply for system eng at YEM..currently I learn how to design wiring for PLC and also design SCADA system. But not so expert la since I just learn for 4months.i dont think fresh grad can demand so high. Anyway I will try la..may I know is this position is always available? It is difficult to get this position? Anyway thanks for respond my comment.hihi

Hi, I got interview request from YISS. What is the career path for this position? What is the difference between DCS engineer and safety engineer under this department?

Last year we have attended some FAT so it's like our 2nd place of work during offdays.
Personally, i liked the scope of job...very hands on. i even thinking of applying job here LOL. but the person handling our FAT said the gaji kecik. Once they go offshore they will stay like 3-4 weeks during commissioning.

Yokogawa has been awarded by JGC consortia for Petronas PFLNG2 project - DCS related. Fat contract. Untunglah.

Saya setuju.

I going to intern at yokogawa puchong on january 2017. Thanks for sharing your experiance

Please don't join this company. Sincerely. They don't set a clear career path for you, and never appreciate engineers.

High turnover rate with 30+ engineers resigned on year 2017 and early of 2018.

Hi, wanted to know if anyone working here as a Service Engineer. How is the salary wise for now? Thank you for replying my inquiries
