Just curious, any forumer here working in Sime Darby? I have heard a lot about GLC companies but I don't really have an idea about the pros and cons. Basically I'll be starting myself in their management trainee program. The fact is that I've resigned from a executive post and 'downgrade' myself to a trainee with only training allowance paid. So, I will be 'pok kai' for the next 6 months with so little money to survive. Anyway if anyone here happen to work or have friends working in it please share the experience with me. Thanks!

My GF works in SJMC (under SIME)
The benefits good I would say.
Housing loans, Car loans, Annual bonuses (kinda high), medical, stock options (which is like extra bonus)
not too shabby....

i work in Sime Darby! Are you with Sime Darby Motors? i was a sime scholar before and then management trainee for 1 year. Working in Sime is quite okay. now they have started using the online KPI. Nways, welcome to Sime

Hey, I'm under Heavy Equipment Division. Anyway I heard they've been doing very well especially for the China market. Hopefully I'll get the chance to work in China someday as my post is actually for the Malaysia and China Operation. Ah.. can't wait to start the program! Damn imagine u got the offer on end of Feb but the program starts at May. Isn't that too long for someone to wait??

Ohh heavy equipment...tractors..hmm the one who are doing well for Heavies are actually Hasting Deerings of Australia!

Plz plz... can u tell me more about this?

heard sime is quite good a company..anyone work inside?

Just my 2 cents .. GLC to me is a good place to settle down .. slow pace but less exposure and knowledge compared to other private sectors out there ... again ... that's just my opinion after working in one of GLC's for 5 years.

No, maybe not enough experience. The first round and second round interviewer all nice.

Any opening now at this point of time?

Every company also have politics, Sime Darby benefit is not bad, bonus is always above average.

Try checking their site, the vacancies are relatively up-to-date

Normally how long after interview they call you for job.

I go for interview 3 weeks ago but no call until now. Does it mean I fail the interview ?

Gosh.. the last time I started this thread was on 2007, time really flies huh?

Anyway, to recap, I've joined SD for more than 2 years and I'm happy about it. No regret joining. Nevertheless, I really look forward to the new SD HQ in Ara Damansara, as my current working location is just too far.. : (

As for office politics, this exist in EVERY company ok? I consider myself to be lucky working under great bosses. They taught me a lot and I really appreciate tat!

To sum things out, yes, SD is certainly a 'not bad' company to work with.

Recently SD revealed losses over 1bil..How serious it affecting the employees...especially on the utilities,OnG,Marine segments?

This post has been edited by xeroxphan: Oct 3 2013, 03:51 PM

Property.

What's AVP? When did you apply for the position?

Assistant Vice President = Assistant Manager role.

In sd, afaik theres

AVP1 = Mgr / sr mgr
Avp2 = ass mgr /mgr
Avp 3 = ass mgr / sr engineer
Avp4 = sr engr

But in sdproperty there's oni avp1 n avp2

Didn't apply, was recommended

Err...


1st time I heard got AVP4 should it be Senior Executive?

the rank in SD should be about

AVP2 = Assistant Manager
AVP1 = Senior Assistant Manager
VP2 = Manager
VP1 = Senior Manager
SVP = Top Mgmt level

If you in VP1, you be entitle to drive BMW 3 series

avp4, just an engineer told me that there are such post.

so u in SD? division?


in sdp oni got AVP2 n AVP1.

Senior Ass Mgr? got such post meh?

My designation will Development Manager. AVP1

Just equivalent, not specific.

I was in GHO, Finance, in SD the only best thing is bonus and benefit.

You just join SD? Hope you have a great bonus this year.

oh thanks...

My uncle works in sd.seems like good pay hes driving 7 series.

Hi guys,

Anyone work in Banting RnD for Sime Plantation?

I heard from a friend that Sime Darby is under hiring freeze right now, but don't know until when. Does anyone know about it?

anyone working in SD Motors?
biz graduate here anyway.

Any idea what a VP2 is entitled to for a car?

Sorry bro, don't understand what you asking???

Guess you just join SD/not work in SD yet. Wait till you climb to VP level, then you will know it.

Good luck & work hard.

What I meant was, if you said that a VP1 gets a BMW 3 series, then what does a VP2 get as the car entitlement? am not with Sd but curious.

Thanks, now I'm clear what is your question.

VP2 entitle one of the segment C car sell by SD (Ford or Hyundai & etc). But sad to tell, is those non popular model.

Would simedarby consider hiring staff family members ? Any added weight in hiring like tm tnb ?

No. It's in Sime Darby's Code of Business Conduct. Family members would not be at an advantage. You can recommend a family member, but everything else follows the usual hiring procedures.

I work in Sime Darby. Yes, currently sime darby is hiring freeze. due to poor profit last quater and cpo price was low.

Anybody else can share their working experience in sime Darby.

I am working in Energy and Utilities sector..

I applied the Executive, Internal Communications & Publications - Group Communications & Corporate Affairs through its online application on 7 a.m today and received a surprised call from the Recruitment Manager around 2 p.m.
Had an interview over the phone and he would loves to see me again. He mentioned that there will be an online assessment in which the SD HR will manage it in April. If all goes well, perhaps the hiring process will be done in June according to the questions he asked.
I was stoked. Tak sampai 12 jam, terus call. Scare the hell out of me.

No wonder my uncle never intro any of our family members. We thought he was just being arrogant...

Bro, whats the benefits like now?

Heard that u get minimum rm11k discount for any cars under SD. True or not?

Epf 16%? Car and housing loans subsidy how many percent? Medical?

Sorry for asking so many questions

ya 16% epf. Car dont have so much discount what i know is around rm 5-6 car and depend on what car u buy. The car brand must be distribute under sime darby only can get discount.

Car no subsidy la, only house around 6%..

Medical is one of the best in Malaysia. I just claimed everything.

I am resigning tomorrow cos i got a better offer. I dont see any future prospect in my current position.

Good luck for those who will be joining Sime Darby.
