Hi , any of you work or have experience working at Komag . Do you happy with condition , benefits , bonus/profit sharing and altitude by high level komagian(managers/supervisors) there .

It's very job place to earn money especially from the OT claim.

Komag also you know! Wah lau ler!

I submitted my resume to them during the Career Fair at Midvalley but too bad, they're not interested with me.

How many years you have been working now ?

How long you think?

To TS, some of the engineers are on-call and they're equipped with pagers in order to page you when there's a need.

What position are you applying?

hmmmmm... komag is making HDD components.... big supplier to Seagate if not mistaken. Right now anything related to seagate is a GOOD news, and i believe komag benefit much better than Jabil....

Komag is expanding..... in terms of building.

Do IT student stand a chance to join?

ex komag-ian here... u can make much money there.. but caution a simple mistake.. u r fired... 2 year n below working exp at there mean nothing to them....

So, Komag is Seagate's CM?

Well, from what I heard, Seagate is not doing that well. What is the GOOD news?

Normally only EE, mechanical and Material student stay a better chance to join Komag

Nope! Komag is Seagate supplier not CM. From where you heard Seagate is not doing well ? They just bought over Maxtor last year and is doing quite well nowaday.

Yup Seagate right now is the world top supplier for HDD...

I don't know. An insider told me.

Another brother-in-law of mine working in Seagate as Director, how come he never tell me ?

Then you brother-in-law is more accurate. Sorry ...

No need to say sorry! May be he didn't tell me. I will ask him when he is back for CNY next month

Komag make the aluminium/glass platters that go into the hard disk.
When times are good, they are generous a paymaster with good benefits.
Work culture-wise....
I think their use of pagers is excessive to the point of ridiculous.
I was there many years ago and left just before they hit bottom. If I had stayed on I probably would have been earning more than I do now, and too pampered/overpaid/underqualified to be fit for another job....
Komag is a great place to earn money, but I don't like the culture there... too *Malaysian*

Malaysian work culture? How would it be? Explain more ...

a bit defensive and negative....
at least that was how I felt it was a long time ago.
KOMG is a nasdaq listed company, but the CEO was M'sian....
One of the more hare-brained ideas I heard last time was that they wanted to venture into networking optical fibres or something like that...(for the record I do not know what became of that venture).
I remember that TH (the outgoing CEO) was influenced by the brand name Docomo, and wanted to create a subsidiary for his venture and call it...."Kokaho" (Hokkien for "even better").
