the manage other petronas units in group to get pet-ict services such as hardware, software development, etc....

unfortunately, non-bumi staff don't join extra curricular activities.....not all, but most of them prefer happy hour, etc.... hehehe

usually no. it goes into the talent pool again for other positions.

What's the meaning of happy hour?

hi bro.. how is the working culture there?
i mean do people come at 9am sharp, sit at their desk for 8 hours, have lunch in less than 1 hour - not more, and are expected to go back home late?

not really....some come at 10-11am....but stayed back a bit.....some come late go home early....depending on their work load.....its pretty flexible I guess.

Workload less means can come at 10 back at 3 or 4?

in specific rare cases only

lunch mana murah kalau kerja sana?

so basically they dont do any real sales?

the other Petronas companies in the group would have to get it from this company right?
or does it have to fight with other companies?

also, does it have other clients outside of petronas group?

do people get hired as contract employees or permanents? is there a probationary period? - how long?

Hi. Does Petronas or Petronas ICT hiring people for 3 months only for their project?
Saw a lot of vacancy in IT related position for Petronas project that hired until 31 Dec 2018 only

15k salary attainable for Senior Exec role?

Bonus and benefits same with Petronas?
Do they offer high employer contribution for EPF?
Normally how many months can be obtained for annual bonus and do contract staff have bonus?
Half-yearly or annual review?
What's the fastest timeline a person can jump a job grade?
If you're hired as contract, means you can only have a promotion, after you been converted to perm?
Meritocracy highly practised inside this organisation?
Trainings?

About the sort of software they do, since they aren't software powerhouse they will mostly based the talent recruit on supporting their vendor systems with close tie with some of their vendor companies? So does this mean within PetICT, the jobs are more sort of governance, regulatory, support kind of thing. That is ensuring that problems and bugs are fixed, reported to vendor and so on?

Do they station staff to work at vendor locations instead of PetICT office?

Normally how is the reporting structure like? If one goes in he will mostly be exposed and evaluated by his immediate supervisor only?

Finally the bigger question is, are the skillsets learned here more of a niche skillset or is the skillset very extensible to all organizations out there? Eg, if one is a Java programmer he can expect everywhere will be have a demand for Java programmer. How about those vendor-software-specific skillset in PetICT? Or is PetICT more about learning people skills like project management, negotiation?

Jobstreet have 6 month contract project manager with pet ict, why such a short duration? What sort of project is to be done in 6 months?

Without knowing the project scope, there is no way to tell six months is too short or too long.
But in my experience, most projects could be delivered within 2 - 6 months time.

1. No, lesser than PETRONAS.
2. No.
3. Around 2 - 2.5 months, positively correlated with oil prices. No idea on contract staff.
4. Annual review.
5. This is at your Manager's & GM's discretions and won't be the same across different team.
6. No idea.
7. If meritocracy means visibility to top management, then yes. Otherwise, no.
8. Depends on your team. There are a lot of training opportunities but chances are you won't have enough time to attend most due to busy work schedule.
9. Generally, yes. This is called "Flip the Pyramid" internally.
10. PET ICT office for support and sometimes at PETRONAS OPUs for projects.
11. Yes, but you may be assigned to projects and need to report to Project Managers.
12. Due to "Flip the Pyramid" approach, you will acquire more managerial, rather than technical skill sets. If you are technically inclined, you might want to consider working for PET ICT vendors.

You will hit salary ceiling first before hitting 15K.

I hire contractors only for two months due to scope of my project.
So, this is possible.

You are expected to complete 8 hours of work daily.
If you go back at 3PM, chances are you will be required to standby at night for some maintenance work.
