i was offered a post of Engineer in FIT... got back the offer letter, until now still 50-50...
i read thru its pay n benefit, think like so so only... The pay is a bit lower than i expected n some benefits might not be needed... Some more my current company increment is same level with what they're offering me already... But i just wanted to move on with other company...

They asked me to look at the bigger picture as i might get trained up in US for couples of months. But that is a chance from 0%. Anyone here really know about FIT work environment or anybody work in this department? And how regular a person got sent to US for training anyway?

Another thing they told me is that they wanna build up a team here so the chances of getting abroad will be much higher.

Then about the review/increment, the HR told me it is done once a year. But in the last few post, someone mentioned no increment for 2007. Is it really that bad?

Please help me... i need to reply back to them latest on Monday...

True. FIT / Firmware / Controller department currently undergoing massive expansion. Most people that join will get sent to the US once they demonstrate that they can work. Normally will go for 6 months at Lake Forest, CA.

2007 no increment.

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?

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... hmm.gif hmm.gif
