ABB Malaysia has lowsy HR. They do not even keep a database of employee competency or a record of employees clocking in for work. They keep employees' salary to the minimum but they waste money on something else. There are a bunch of bureaucrats at corporate level that do not have many things to do while other people are busy around. There are so many competent people leaving ABB Malaysia that their HR has changed the policy that an employee cannot leave the company without 3-month notice (last time it was only 1 month). Their working time is from 8am to 530pm, which is the longest among the MNCs.

Unless you are a senior manager in ABB Malaysia, you have no practical benefit. Join ABB in other countries instead for any post lower than senior manager.

anyone heard of the graduate trainee program? how is it?

hello silverwave,

forget about this program, apply for a permanent position, currently, they are MASS hiring

hello Anco,

3 months notice had been implemented for quite sometime, as for money, they are at the medium range, not to say peanut la...

Hello Mclaren,
project is stresful, so is design...wei...ppl pay you, pressure is surely in the package lo

I agree with john on joining design if you are a fresh, probably after a week here, you will be handling 2-3 projects, each worth more than millions

Thanks for the reply. Oh no, i just sent in my resume for graduate trainee post. If permanent post, what kind of positions are there?

Send in your application seeking an engineering position. Coz there are vacancies for many positions...hope you get short listed

are u ABB staff? PPMV? design?

In the website, there are only 3 available positions which are graduate trainee, executive/engineer and engineer-design. However, the other 2 jobs besides graduate trainee requires experience. I'm a fresh grad. Do you think i should apply for a general engineering post instead?

recently probably they are looking for new design engineer.. many projects keep coming..

most company wish to get experience engineers, but ABB do consider fresh grads... but is definitely a lil' tough without some1 from the inside to recommend you.

mention "seeking for an engineering position" in your resume, that will keep your option open for other positions...thats my advice

good luck

I am a sub-con hehe

I actually sent my resume thru someone inside but she is an accountant if i am not mistaken. I just sent thru another mail to them as u suggested. I was just wondering how is ABB's interview process and do they provide training for engineers?

Thanks for the advise.

introducing an engineer into abb gets RM 1000, and after confirmation, another RM500, total RM1500.

Deparment manager will interview you, and of coz, there are other candidates. if you are short listed, they will call you within 2 weeks, then you will meet up with the higher level of management, then you will talk about package.

training? there's plenty for you ^^

they have training at least once a month.. usually they will call u for interview with HR staff and engineering department...

ooo sub con aaa... ehehehhe..

Good. Lets just hope i get called soon coz i'm bored at home
