I dont know how long does it take Im still not getting reponse from Petronas. its almost a month now since I had an interview

Well I was offered verbally during the first few minutes of the SI. However, the official offer was only made by the HR about two to three months after that. So, go figure.

However, in their defence, Petronas really does interview lots of candidates so it really takes quite sometime to get back to each candidate. So, patience is key

Hope the interview turned out well

Thanks you I really hope that I can get this Job.. As far as I know the interview seems fine, most of their question is not so difficult to answer and HR guy who was part of the interviewing panel told me that it will take 1 month to get the result... So it only means their selection period is so long ang their trying to get the best of the best among the candidates ..

So did you get any call from pet HR ?

i'm not sure whether current practice is either the hiring manager is not telling you much or the candidates are nervous or not sure what to ask.
hiring managers usually the technical manager for the department, while there might be E3/TP Staff will be your immediate superior.

offer letter will of course usually specify your title (unless its a seeding position) as HR only takes the box position from org chart.

maninyellow not many JV plant environment in petronas , locally.

chibimoon yes, there are challenging posts, technically, physically, mentally challenging. but the mentality of being inefficient are abundant across the BU. meetings day in day out. even meetings scheduled after office our as the dept head is too busy meeting during normal office hours. meetings and discussion for a discussion that can be made in 10-15 minutes between the mgrs but need meetings to ensure decision is accepted unanimously for future taichi.
and these middle managers that is not technically competent enough that needs their E2/E1 to stayback at office , to standby for meeting for nothing. Very, very inefficient i would say. sooner or later, it will become a typical bumiputra company.

how about the common food fest in each department pantries , every Friday where time for break spent more than working. each OPU has this practice, based on my observation.

from top to bottom , if not improved, PETRONAS will sink one day.

Any one works here in Petronas Offshore. I just need some info regarding their facilities

Hi, i hve a room to be rented out in paka. Pm me for more info. Tq

Lama tak visit this thread. Been superbusy these past couple of months

yogurt7 Congratulations. The journey in joining is almost complete and now a new adventure awaits.

PIPE or Induction Programe as it was called when I was there is fun fun fun. Many a Petronas staff have met their spouse there as well so watch out for those potential mates heh heh heh especially those from Corporate Planning and CDU (Corporate Development Units)

For those applying or in the process of applying ... Good Luck

I spent 10 years there .... and I always tell myself that one day I'd like to return there. No doubt in my mind that having worked in Petronas gave me the required experience to be where I am today. So network network network and get as much experience as you can. Don't be shy/scared in asking to be part of a project. Go see your boss and ask for training and to be given some work. They like it that way instead of raking their heads on what to do with you.

The guards are probably Non-Exec staff and they have what we call a union body so they have collective bargaining agreement with Petronas. So when the execs get 5 month bonus, I think their CBA also calls for a top-up of 3 months bonus on top of their guaranteed 2 months bonus.

BUT you need to realize that their base salary is pittance. I know my technician got paid like 10 time less than what Petronas pays for fresh grads now.

Did you follow up with your headhunter? Maybe he/she knows something?

thanks bro, i just notice it take me nearly 6 months from my Technical Assessment interview until the day I receive the Offer Letter. what a long journey, and I'm not even report duty yet in Petronas.

any1 know what is the basic salary? benefit? or any? - Current as 2013. Thanks

They also got nothing...no response from Petronas

Still 4K I believe.

Dear all, any idea how long I have to wait after i submit results? final results only comes out in July 2013

Thanks alot for any remarks.

Congrats... lucky you mine is exactly 1month now and haven't got anything...I dont know if you guys are fresh grad or not.. I'll been working in Oil and Gas for more than a decade I think Im not lucky to be part of petronas.. I will not wait I will just focus on my current job..

Hi guys,
I am a 3rd year UTP student studying Chemical Engineering.

I would like to humbly ask about the opportuinities of a Chemical Engineering fresh grad working in KL. Are there any departments in KLCC that hires fresh grads for CE?

FYI, I don't mind working in a more non-technical department compared to working in plants, refineries, etc.

Thanks and thanks again.

You can always try for Petroleum Engineering or Reservoir Engineering BUT, you will face competition with those who has a Petroleum Engineering degree. 7-8 years ago, Petronas was still taking in Chem E student and converting them to PE due to the shortage of people doing PE degrees. Now with UTP and a lot of students coming back with PE degrees, I think it would be difficult now but then again, I may be wrong.

Went to Brazilian embassy today and had a chit chat with the lady (secretary). She told me that a few bunch of petronas ppl that came for the visa application and few more are coming. I guess this in line with the recent announcement where Petronas is buying one block in brazil. Can someone advise whether Petronas is currently setting up the office over there and where it will be located? Tq

looking forward to my SI this coming weeks, any tips?..hehe
