Promotion is ACD and KPI driven. Well, can say mostly from ACD. ACD (Accelerated Career Development) is kind of yearly assessment to gauge your technical skills and you need to close 80% of the gap given to promote for next grade.

I don't really favor ACD cos I saw this will cause most engineer in Pet to become book worm and know to talk only. When dealing real big problem, there you goes, "pointing other fault" game started. I witness few case in my OPU and my engineers too since I become covering manager until now.

If you look into positive perspective, ACD shall be your gauge to work hard and gain more knowledge, skills and experience at where you lack of. I came in as experience hired, I felt there is something really not right with Pet culture, put aside plant culture. In some plant, you may feel like work in government. Incompetent and laziness everywhere!

Don't worry about salary increment in Pet, if you always get 2-Outstanding in your yearly KPI. Your salary will climb up like no tomorrow. If you join Pet, be in this group. Work hard, do whatever, learn everything and you can survive outside Pet in the future.

Hi all sifus, I'm new to here. I noticed the minimum requirement for fresh grad position in Petronas included Second Class Upper and such. I am wondering if I am below the minimum requirement, would they still hire me? I have 2 years and 6 months of working experience but that would still categorize me under entry level. Hope to hear from everyone. Thanks.

Hi aeir2020 and msismail thank you so much for the reply.

However I wonder that if they decided to call someone up for a chit chat session even though he/she does not meet the minimum requirement, does that mean that they do not care about the requirement? Or they just do not notice? Haha

msismail, thank you for the info. But sometimes when opportunity like this presents itself, it is hard to not to at least try it haha.
