Hi,

Does anyone have any information for BASF Asia Pacific Service Centre Sdn Bhd

Website: BASF Asia Pacific Service Centre Sdn Bhd

- Working environment
- Benefit
- Working hour/shift

Thanks

What position are you applying for? I worked there previously, superd colleagues, super environment. If you are the friendly and like to mingle type, it's the place for you. Ask me anything, I'll try to help. I was the pioneering batch there.

Position applied: SAP Service Desk

Question: on SAP Service Desk

1) Working environment
2) Working hour/Shift?
3) Benefit

Thanks in advance.

whare u get the job from?? jobstreet??

They are in the midst of transition of countries in asia pacific to the help desk at Menara TM. Depending on the countries already transitioned, generally you will be working 8 hours, and there will be 2 shifts in a day. The working environment is good, comparable to HP, physically I mean (tea/coffee/snacks etc with fridge, nothing fancy). The infrastructure are all new, AC blowing from the floor instead of the top. They are using Novell for File server (NOT OS and NOT file system). SAP will pay you well, and if you stick around, they have periodic cash bonus (i.e. not once every end of the year). The boss is very strict, but very fair and one of the best I've seen. If you screw up, you will get screwed, but own up to it, fix it, and you;re off to a great start.

As for benefits, I'm sure it will differ from one employee to another. But you can generally be sure of contractual bonus, performance bonus, medical, etc. But most importantly, they are new. And the chance to be part of the management team, to go up the food chain, is enormous. Depending on your negotiation skill. So you need to have good attitide, as things may still be a bit rocky, as in any transition and new set up.

They are engaging Accenture as part of the transition consulting team. Most of them are professional and friendly. Some of the ppl there came from ExxonMobil, ,Shell, HP etc., so you know the benefits are not at all bad.

BASC (that's what it's called) need good people with great attitude. If you think you have expertise in areas of helpdesk (SAP all modules), Lotus Notes R6/7, security, operations, HR/Finance, go to Kelly IT services. BASC need 400 ppl at least, and the last time I check, they have reached around 300.

2 shifts in a day ... day and night shift?

hI...i was curious to know whether staff need to travel a lot or not [Either local or overseas]. For the medical, do they include spouses?

Hi,

Do you join BASF?? If yes, how's the environment there?? pls comment. Thanks.

I do not have any experience in HR.
Do I qualify to apply for HR Analyst?

I went to interview today for account analyst position. The interviewer said I will be informed within 1 week if i am successful.

Fell that i might not success.

Don't be negative thinking. Perhaps u will success ^^

Wish I will find my preferably job soon >.<

Is "success' a verb?

English like that deserves an automatic red card during interviews.

Any latest news about BASF ??

Hi guys, would like to ask bout the SAP Service Desk in BASF. What's the differences in between SAP SD and normal SD?

Their HR contacted me directly, and initially they offered me the Service Desk Analyst which is the same as what I'm doing right now, and I rejected it.

Then, they told me got job available for SAP SD (Level 1 Support) also.

But, is it better to get involve in SAP SD than the normal SD?

I have been working in Helpdesk line for 2 years... and I'm getting boring of it, dun wanna take calls anymore.

Can someone please give me some opinions?

Thanks!~

This post has been edited by pepper99: Aug 3 2010, 11:03 AM

so, any peps know what they gonna to give during the assessment?

Hi all,

Any ACCA grad working there?

What's the current market salary and positions likely to be assumed?

Thanks.

Hey.. Anyone got a call back for the 3rd stage for the graduate trainee program??

no reply so far...

Hi, its my first time in writing in the Jobs section. I did went through the 3rd stage of the GTP.

But here is the overall assessments from the beginning for anyone's reference. Sorta because they only tell you the whole thing only at the 3rd stage. This is according to their numbering system, the submission of resumes is stage 1.

Assessment 1: They screen resumes
Assessment 2: Those selected from the resume pile gets invited by both/either by BASF or their HR consultants to HELP at KL Campus for 2 tests.

Test 1: Read passages and answer true or false.
Test 2: Business Math/ Statistics analytical questions.

Assessment 3: PAPI-I Test. Its a Mayers-Briggs personality test of 100 questions. This is done at your own time and pace at home.

Assessment 4: At BASC's premises at Menara TM. Its broken down to 3 exercises.

Exercise 1: Group Presentation Exercise. 4 people at the table are given a scenario and facts related to it. 20 minutes to formulate answers, 20 minutes for the actual meeting. Discuss about the scenario and collectively come to an agreement.

Exercise 2: Individual Presentation Exercise. You have a case and facts given and you would have to present to the assessors your case. In my case, its justification on why a company's branch should not be closed down.

Exercise 3: Individual Role Play. Its a one to one meeting scenario to solve issues with a person. In my case I had to solve an individual's problem of taking too much tau huei breaks and not delivering the expected results. Of course the facts and what you need to do is given on the booklet provided. They would ask you about your department preference over tea break.
Whether if its going to be IT, Finance/Accounting, HR or Corporate Services.

Assessment 5: An interview with the head of the department that you may get based on what department you tell them that you want to join.

Then its straight to getting a job offer and the job.

I hope by writing this, it would help other fellow job seekers in the future. Though I might just reject their offer because they did say its going to be a call center job. Don't really fancy call center work after getting tricked into it in the past.

This post has been edited by seatux: Sep 17 2010, 08:35 PM

yaya, same feeling with you. i had reject to attend the 2nd stage interview due to it highly possible to be a call center job.

BASC's so-called "call centre job" is unlike IBM/HP/Dell/other outsourced company's call centre job

So, is it a good career to begin with? Any insider info? Heard that they are taking in 5 persons every year.

I worked as a contractor there before.

Friendly (ahbeng-ish) people, nice environment, a systematic (German) support process. Only bad thing is parking and lousy TM building

all this for juz call center job??? omg...

For the 4th Assessment, they brought applicants into the office itself. As I and the other candidates were being moved around, I did see quite a number of people hooked up into headsets.

A curiosity I noticed in the proceedings is that no one seems to ask for my or anyone else's resumes and cert copies at all. Well, apart from the time you submitted your resume for Assessment 1. I only sent in my resume only, so I wonder they really have the time to background check people or coz its going to be a CC job, anyone would do?

About the Call center thing, I did ask Ms. Lisa Lew of the local HR team about the job at the first test at HELP. I asked if its going to be a call center job, and she said yes. So, that's where I got the info from.



I am curious what other details do you know? Its good to let the forum goers know so that they can make informed decisions about joining BASC.

Hi all,

Anyone worked as an analyst - general and reporting?

How is it?

is anyone in their GTP? Was wondering how is the working environment now?

i was interviewed for the credit officer last week, i like both the interviewer, they are so nice and friendly. Unfortunately, they required me to work on shift everyday (to handle Australian's customer), as earliest as 2am in the morning, so when the interviewer asked me if i am willing to work for them, i rejected them. That's a regret.

Mixed reviews on these posts. Why do people leave BASF SSC? Where do they go? How well is BASF SSC operating compared to other KL SSC companies? What are the differences? What are they doing worse?
