Basically, there got 3 type manufacturer company in Penang. Based on ur experience and opinion, wat do u feel about this 3 types company?

Do share ur feeling here.

for sure US MNC is 1st choice..

General mindset will be:

US MNC: Relatively high pay and better benefits.

Japanese company: Low pay and low benefits but you could learn a lot.

Taiwanese company: Might be high pay but work load is a lot; perhaps might be same like China company too.

US - capitalistic. Profits are very important to them. Outsourcing may be frequent if costs are expensive

Japan - Asian work culture. Employees expected to die for their company - literally in working.

Taiwai - Chinaman. Enough said...

The information is just from a personal perspective and I may be wrong.

You missed out Europe company eg. Germany.

From my p.o.v. the priority should be like this:
1. US
2. Europe
3. Japan
4. Taiwan
5. Local

He had left out dutch based company as well...benefits not bad also

included in eur based la....

1. US - Performance driven, only the best will survive and get promoted
2. Europe - More relaxed, do not condemn, good way to nurture a starting career. Can learn a lot as well. May not be as systematic or have a good structure as an American company would be
3. Japan - For most japanese, their first company that they join would also be their last. Very loyal and expect you to be loyal. You would learn a lot from them.
4. Taiwan - Work is very taxing because profits are on their mind and to maximize profits, they would minimize cost (meaning workers) but expect to get things done.
5. Local - Work is very taxing because profits are on their mind and to maximize profits, they would minimize cost (meaning workers) but expect to get things done. Less structured.

US - Enjoy your life and you work and with high pay
Japan - Long working hour, average pay and less increment
Taiwan - Long working hour, lower pay and lower increment

Agree. You make a better list

20 years from now if Chinese Economy Boost .i think chinese company will hv better benefit than current US company... China is Expanding .. US is jz maintaining. What u ppl think ?

But no matter how, Chinaman is still Chinaman

30 YEARS AGO US ppl also same as china ppl.. Work long hour untill their living standard bcm better. i believe china company will offer better benefit in future. 20-25 years for china..

working with Japan, u will given a small knife hehe jk,

anyway i working with US company, i quite enjoy with it..but the workload that i having now woooh

How about bumiputra company? Any opinion?

if you really think later china based company will offer better package than Us based then try to look at the japanese base company. why they still offer the same package ....they're grow rite...

i think it is asia culture....

I think Japanese economy is not very stable and their language not use internationally haha.. not sure.. only know the truth 30 years later.

anyone here from Japanese company before , n jump boat to other company(seeking more knowledge etc)?
difficult to leave or anything?

*to me as a freshie, im into learning

You sure about that? Their mindset 30 years ago was still very different from that of China today.
