I was told I cannot claim too.
Can I ask is that true? I am to be based in Cyberjaya but I cannot claim.
Let me know..anyone.
Chan. Every associate who are based at cyberjaya can claim the travel allowance RM300.
this is my experience in satyam. all below are facts.
a. I was benched for just a month. Others I've seen being benched for six months or even more.
b. I've resigned for a while. (got 2 payslips from new company) but still being called up by satyam team to help them with the problems they encounter.
c. During my stay, I cannot claim petrol. Cannot claim toll. Cannot claim parking parking. According to the manager, I can claim if I went to a seminar, but if on site, no claim. (I know some companies let you claim, some companies view it as the site is your new base, so no claims).
d. I saw with my own eye, a co-worker being wrongly billed for 10k. He tried to talk to his manager, his manager just said, "if you have to pay, then you have to pay". Thank god somebody else helped him go to HR and finance department.
e. During my bench period, I wanted to join PEGA training (which is a different project), but I was not allowed. My manager said, that project had too many people.
f. During my bench period, I wanted to apply for an internal vacancy in Japan and UK. But my reporting manger said, "don't", even though I fit the requirements.
g. When I was assigned to a project, I was using Struts. Struts is a 2002 technology.
h. When I was assigned to a project, they were using cvs where everybody was sharing the same username and password.
i. When I was assigned to a project, they commited to the cvs whenever they please, resulting in nobody knew where the current code was.
j. After I resigned, my project manager resigned.
k. My pay from previous salary was +50%
l. Satyam's medical benefit. I've never ever been offer any medical benefit or even seen any other company offer that kind of benefit. DENTAL USD 500 per person per year. MATERNITY USD 10k per whole working duration. MEDICAL cover GP+Specialist. I've looked around. For these same benefits, you'd have to pay USD 4k per person per year.
m. I resigned on 28th March. My salary was on hold for one month. I got it on 30th April.
m. Satyam has basic pay and variable pay (sort of like performance bonus). I have a friend who didn't get an increment on basic pay, but got an increment on variable pay.
n. On my last week there. I heard that there was this Malay girl who was just back from a Singapore project. She was in the process of going to a New Zealand project.
o. The SAP people are also being sent to middle east.
p. Someone from the same batch as me was being sent to India, .NET programmer.
q. The day I joined satyam. There were 2 other J2EE programmers. The next, I saw my reporting manager and asked to be placed in Singapore if there is a vacancy. After being benched for a while, I found out one of them is doing PEGA training. The other has been sent to Singapore.
r. Satyam pays for your petrol. up to RM 300. Its tax free coz they require receipt. Its like paying you to go to work.
s. I've heard that some people who got to work to singapore got a 1:1 convesion. If they are earning RM 4,000 here, they will be earning SD 4,000 in singapore. Some people got 0.9, some got 0.8 conversion. It varies. On countries like India or Indonesia, I think its USD conversion.
t. Satyam provides a LOT of training. SAP traning costs A LOT. try to absorb all the training you can get.
u. no access to web based mail.
These are just facts. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Thank you.
ttwangsa, Whatz the moral of your story? You got a pay hike of 50+ plus when u joined satyam but you have resigned with in 3 months just because you are at client place and not eligible for travel allowance(RM300). Appreciate if you can share your thought about your dream company.
