Im also having similar experience, most my manager coming from hot seat in GLC and liner company. Im thinking why on the earth they choose be with small company as me myself never had chance to feel working in MNC company. Pretty sure is about more salary and less stress since small number of worker.

so it is true after long years being in big company your vision become more clear?

hahha true man

sometimes it happens due to re-org and lose their position and they cant get into other MNCs, so no choice they have to catch what they are being offered, as they have families to feed. Of course in front of you, they cant say this, but have to-rephrase as working in small company is better and not too complicated. Whether they get better salary in smaller companies or not, that is also depending, small company also wouldnt purposely pay these people high pay as their revenue is also small.

you think given between MNC and small companies, people choose small companies ? really ? think again

this is really common sense. small company got politics, big company also got politics. might as well work in big company with better prospect and better pay. those people who have worked in big companies, once got redundant or lost their positions of course will want to jump to other big companies, but the positions are much lesser than the people applying, so have to go to local companies as "Head of whatever dept", the title sounds better but the salary is different case, the workload is include mountain, sea and everything....of course in front of people will say, they report to the CEO but at the back, you dont see the work that they need to do versus the pay they get, it's totally not worth it(especially if you are an experience person).

these are all common sense.

PS : is Auric Chun Yip, Socma Trading called MNC ? sorry if im mistaken....just not familiar

hehe, my point of view are people always upgrading no downgrade so no matter how you must stay the level start before. It always be a same perception towards this issue because like you already in big name company why suddenly u coming small company which sometimes don't even has their own signboard ? ( yeah, its always about salary but benefit will be not same again)

My intention to start with small company because i able to do different task directly like office work to field work/operation. But it is normal to see small company not so care their staff welfare rather than big company. (im used to it, even have to book flight/hotel by yourself when outstation)

your phrase
'you think given between MNC and small companies, people choose small companies ? really ? think again '
- being in MNC surely your will have wider network or u know a lot people in your circle. Surely u know how to work from it. Unless u tried before but fail ist ok la.. economy factor so call

Trust yourself and your network, nuffsaid 'good deed payoff' ..

Wow, this thread still alive?

yes, with the current economy, it's hard to "upgrade". being in mnc, i think there's a tendency(not necessary) to follow the culture from the HQ country, be it Americas or European and not to mention a certain way of working to cater to having presence in multiple countries. network is always important, but i dont believe people who dont have network but are good in their work(this is where it will see the hiring manager's intelligence to see the person's skills) and not office politics cant get good job offers as well. in the working world, people can create any gossips(usually attacking on the personality) about that person, but eventually, work will speak for themselves.

having said that, of course there are MNCs that will lose it's culture due to the fact majority of the employee inside are of local content. it will evolve to become a more local behavioural style. To avoid having such environment, the HR should make a point for the company to make sure there are a same ratio(or almost) of races and gender and multiple personalities working in the office. This kind of working environment will benefit the company the most, though you cant help but politics will still happen.

They want to have a slower-pace and a stabilized life (more work life balance).
