u going to join this company?

if i were joining soon, i wont be asking this question here

need to gather info b4 i make any move. anyone can provide any info?

ooo... ok...
wat kind of job u plan to apply in there?

actually an interview has been arranged, for the post i wish to remain confidential.

so any info for me?

what kind of info you wish to know?
as i know, most of them will need to do development there..
if i not mistaken..

I've been to their interview before. Must be the same position . But I was not shortlisted after that . Anyway, their office looks alright. They are in the same building as Prudential etc.

staff benefits, yearly increment and bonus, allowance, staff accomodation, OT pay, working days/hours...etc etc

i think they already change to new building is same with BMW now..

no OT pay, flexi working hours, i think do not have staff accomodation. actually all this things, u may ask when u going for your interview session with them...

u cant take answer during interview for granted, they will only giv u beautiful answers ..speaks from experience.

Normally, I don't ask about salary, OT etc. during interview. HR will eventually explain the terms to me .

not quite agree with u.. i always asking about this matter during interview and it was fine to them.. you hav the rite to know.. how come you can ingore this kind of question..

yup... u can ask them during ur interview session... if they willing to hire you, wat for they wanna cheat you? but asking this kind of question is very important.. is your own benefit...

Perhaps you all should read my statement again. I said "Normally, I don't ask about salary, OT etc. during interview. HR will eventually explain the terms to me " . Understand the bolded words?

u can ask the salary during the interview session. Or i can tell u, for fresh grad engineer (wat ever engineer) basic is 2000 plus 250 travel allowances, that make 2350/month. Then they do porvide house loan and car loan.
Car loan can be applied after ur 3 months probation period. House loan forget liao....When u get married, they'll give u a small gift of their products.
Not mistaken got around 17 days annual leave.......
They do subsidy staff for lunch. and rice are FOC, can take how much u wan, haha.....
thats all i know.

AFAIK... Panasonic R&D offers one of the best remunerations (maybe for fresh grad oni la, i dunno) among all the companies... even higher than Altera, so wat do u think? hehe. I think the benefits are REALLY good there, do not feel hesitate to join them if you can.

First interview, basically they will give u some IQ test which comprise of several sections with LOTS of questions which impossibly u can answer them all. And do not attempt to 'tembak' cos I heard making a wrong answer is more undesired than leaving blank.

After that, here comes some test on C or C++. But they r MCQs so it's quite ok oso..

Then, u'll sit for the interview where they will ask u some questions which r non technical. e.g. ur final year project, or project that u've done, technical skill tat u have.. blah blah blah


Second interview, I heard you'll be interviewed by their top management, where they'll ask u questions like: why do u choose panasonic, wat's ur expected salary, so on. Then they'll test you on C programming. Here u'll need to write some function I think.. and I heard not quite easy also.


Basically wat joanaloidog said is kinda untrue. Nothing like subsidy for lunch cos they don even have their canteen. Rice are FOC? LOL

That is wat i get during my panasonic interview lah......in SHAH ALAM. i assume all panasonics are similar mah.....

Since the threadstarter is asking about the working environment, I'll say it's very clean la, spacious and some privacy, heehee. Friendly colleagues also. each person will have 1 desktop and 1 laptop to use. wat's more? full subsidy to ur home broadband!

My friend is engaged in R & D department at Panasonic Sg Way. He's a new hire and he doesn't complain much about it.

if wat darren84 said is true, then its definately a promising job. wish me luck for the interview.

RM4k for mere 2 years exp? What the post u apply for?
btw.. good luck dude..

RM 4k for 2 years working experience ... guess it's a little high.

Well... I think it's reasonable salary at R&D center there.. hiak hiak

all the best!!!

in PRDCM, i think most of them are called R&D engineer, and either u can work on research team or development team btw, good luck to you too...

thanks to all the constructive replies, it was my lucky day and i was offered a position in PRDCM today. however, it will be a 1 year contract working basis...a lil risky if u ask me, do u guys think i should request for a normal probation instead of taking the 1 year contract?

and wat are the pro and cons working under contract?

hi, desperately need some advice on working contract basis, enlighten me please.

mind to tell us the salary offered for contract basis and what benefits they offer for contract?

From what I think;

Contract Staff:
1) Not much benefits
2) Higher pay (to compensate those benefits)
3) Risky when comes to the end of your contract because they might or might not extend your contract.

my 2 cents worth is that regardless of if you are permanent or contract, if you perform;there's nothing to worry about.

contract staff no laptop..
other benefits shud b the same with permanent staff

if u have a chance then join as permanent.. my two cents

Hi does anyone know exactly what type of things or research they do in the R&D centre? I hear from one of my friend said that they do some IR programming for the remote controls for the new models of media players such as DVD or VCR. Betul kah ni?

Is there anyone that can briefly explain what type of R&D work they are doing - which field or industry and people group they r targetting? kinda interested to know...

helo?? Anyone who's working there can give some info? Would really like to find out more what they do in cyber branch
