Depends on which department you're in. If in manufacturing side, it gets a little boring as everything is routine. Engineering side more stuff to do. Depends also which building you're at since there is a smaller building away from that 5 storey building you see by the LDP. There less chance to curi tulang by going to the canteen to play pool (there are pool tables, foosball and karaoke in the new canteen).

One thing though, WD is very strict in terms of clocking in and out. For salaried exempt need to work 44 hours a week minimum (exc lunch, cig break, etc). Everythime go in and out need to clock.

Bonus and other financial incentives are alot less compared to other major MNCs.

KB2005,
where got any other WD in malaysia?

Sorry! WD used to have a plant in Prai, Penang. They have closed down many years ago. Initially i thought you're talking about WD in Singapore since no exact location of the factory was being mentioned before.

Wondering how's the work environment at the new Komag (WD Media). Still as bad as Komag last time. My colleagues are very terrified with Komag work style. sleep.gif

Any improvements after brought over by WD?

One of my friend's friend get retrenched by Komag and he got 100k+ for the package. thumbup.gif

If the management team are the same after bought over by WD, i don't think the working style will change! biggrin.gif

Even with the same management team but business policy that WD is implementing might change that.

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