Some companies have probation period; some doesn't have. So, it's not a general rule of thumb.

Agilent and Avago will confirm you on Day 1.

I don't think Agilent and Avago got probation period. That's according to my current knowledge after surveying among employees and contract staffs.

i've accepted their offer to work in this company... dunno whether i can demonstrate that i can work or not... hehehehe... maybe just bullshiting.. so 6 months straight? any break to come back here?

wah... 2007 not a single increment ha? so sad ha? really meh? not even 5%? well... need to expect for the worst, but still hope for the best!

well... wish me good luck...

I working at westernd digital@formerly komag. sorry can't give opinion because work at production site..

IT department is incharge of the whole WD IT infrastructure... cos we have many many different program for different department & tools... so sometime i think like they are all very very messy, with no similar standard to follow... Every department will have their own sub website and sub program... in order to use their program, you need to register!!! think like this way: low yat forum, cari forum, kaki forum, & other forum, they all are under same company, but their layout is totally different, and you have to register in each if not all before you can use them... sometime i think i cant remember all the account i have here...

so you can image what IT is doing la... if you're incharge of certain program/project, then you just have finish it, regardless of whether the website/program is same/following others standard.... i'm not in IT department, just think that's the way they work la...

but from what i can see... they are quite loaded la... 3 of them driving Honda City, their boss, normally ride motor to work...

i was offered as Purchaser in WD. Just heard from friend that the increment of salary is low.
wanna get advise from ex-staff there. is it environment there really bad ?
is my 1st time to apply MNC company, not really know with how good MNC can be.
can give any advise? how higher salary can go for this position?
cause they can't offer my suggested salary.

hurry up!help me...i need to reply them soonly

how much u consider low?
My fren is there and he said the increment is quite good, he is engineer there

i have no idea...i just listen from friend, telling is stingily
and i found out alot of bad sounds at forum...
just wanna do a proper survey before make any decision.

Anybody here knows about their GLP, Graduate Leadership Programme? Is it tough? What will their interview process like?

Thank you

i guess u r the ps who just sit beside me, who is editing the firmware script.

Different department got different pay, if you ask product or manufacturing engineer you will hear different story.

Hi, I got a call today for the Graduate Leadership Programme which will commence in January 2009. Anyone been for that interview in the past?

What is Graduate Leadership Programme ?

Some sort of management trainee programme I guess.

Candidates will be rotated within all the dept's for 6 months before being absorbed into one of the dept's.

Management trainee is a general term. Other company could fashion with other term like probation, graduate traine (for Intel), Team Blue (for IBM) and etc.

I guess you are right. I have a question here. I just got a job offer from ENSR, an environmental engineering company yesterday. I have an interview with WD on monday for the graduate leadership program. If i were to get WD offer too, which would be a better choice if i were to compare both in terms of career advancement?

ENSR- Environmental Engineer, travelling a lot
WD- graduate leadership program, got classroom sessions and exams too.

wow, u getting offers every where, me still waiting, u must have a really good cgpa for fresh grad
