haha...just now realize your reply.

well i'm onboard now...dont see any of your guys here atm...
maybe no such big problems

hi all:

Attended an interview on Tuesday, by 2 HR reps and 2 technical reps.

Process is lengthy 2.5 hours for a permanent position at Hosting-storage.

Hence, i still have few question after the session which i missed out to ask.

1. What the range for permanent staff as in IT (experiences 4-5 yrs)
2. The Petrol& Toll Allowances rm1000 will be terminated and converted to housing/car subsidy in 2009 ,
Is that good?
3. Heard from this thread T-systems is going to take over, any idea when is it mid 2009 or 2010.?
4. When the dept/team outsource to vendor does permanent staff retain the same salary but diff benefits
5. For outstation ppl

sweat.....man

That all i have...

1. Can't say, depends a lot on your experience and how much they want you and how well you did in that interview. If I were to guess it'll be 5+k after allowances.

2. No it's not good

3. Outsourcing will start in mid 2008

4. Yes

5. Outstation folks get to stay at a hotel for 3 weeks while they look for a place to stay in KL. I think it's at Cyberview Lodge. Not sure if it applies for everyone though.

hmm so that means those that get hired will work around 6 months till T-Systems take over ......

Where will you be based at? KL or outstation?

Thx tishaban for your input, appreciate that.

Actually, my friend got offered 5 figured with same year experiences on contract basis.

1. Depend on how confident you are, I really regret to not put high enought as this company should able to pay more compare other, but i'm not dare to put too high as i really want to join Shell (After getting Shell then join Petronas should be no problem , Petronas more rich)

2. House and Car allowance RM1000 sure is better compare to Loan. Impossible for us to get the same benefit amount from loan compare to allowance, benefit only if you make a huge loan (RM>500k bungalow, RM>200k car , then u can save a lot of loan since company subsidy huge interest).

3. Outsource start on mid 2008

4. same salary diff benefit

5. Outstation really best, i travel from Penang and stay in Hotel PutraJaya Shangri-La + temporary transport (Honda Accord) for 3 weeks , but if you got this Relocation benefit try stay Cyberview Lodge lor. The Shangri-La hotel is not very good (3 stars only), swiminng pool so small .

Shell has been interesting so far. The benefits that Shell employees get that people don't usually talk about are:

- if a public holiday falls on Saturday, it's replaced by that Friday instead. 2007 was a bumper year with I think 4 public holidays falling on a Saturday which means 4 long weekends!

- personal development is very much emphasized. You can arrange with your boss to have half a day each week for online training. People can just do online training and get certified, all on company time and money, without getting bonded. It should be related to your job of course. If you're in the leadership track then you get even more attention.

- health & safety are emphasized significantly, to the point where if I stop at a zebra crossing and a car stops to let me pass, I'm 95% sure that the driver works in Shell I'm happy to see that Malaysians can be as good as the Europeans safety wise when their work environment is conducive.

- many teams are truly global teams, there is a fair number of foreigners and a fair number of Malaysians going for short/long term assignments overseas as well. If you're good you'll get the chance to go somewhere.

However there are things I don't like as well...

- people are just not very competitive. They're too laid back, the side effect of being in a rich company.

- promotions are still somewhat age related, it seems as if you need to be a certain age before you can be promoted to a certain level. Sometimes this can be only in name eg. you can be just an analyst and still make RM15k per month or more.

Just my own gripes with Shell

The major problem i don't like is:
1) Not much single young girl/FRESH girl. When intro all married
Seems i will need to go DELL walk around, there a lot call center lenglui?
2) 90% communication is through email, office is very quiet (compare to DELL), rarely heard people shouting/cursing/debating in office phone
all work leisurely seems no stress also
- so no chance for me to learn the art of shouting/cursing/debating

Is Shell taking microbiology student?

Yes there are positions for industrial hygienists. It's more towards the manufacturing side however. Don't know if they have openings in Malaysia, particularly for a fresh grad.

Hey, I just passed my SRD too. Am so glad about it.

Congratulations...what position were you offered? Where will you be posted?
