what do you want to know? I know everything about PET-ICT.

Hows the environment like?
Very big company. They have all the people scattered across many sites and many projects. Good environment if you are high performing.



Do they have programmer teams?
They have in house, external consultants and vendors. usually the accenture people

Much politics inside?
Politics is everywhere. Same as normal IT company

Salary and benefits good? bonus?
Salary is good if your credentials is good. No much ceiling for any positions

Long term career prospects have?
[COLOR=blue]They have a lot of departments with structured management. You can do cross dept. and also apply for many internal openings. They usually prioritize internal hiring

What sort of system do they build or support?
SAP, .NET, INFRA, CLOUD, etc......they're involved in various different technology stacks as they are supporting for upstream and downstream.

Stress level moderate?
Quite stressing. Everything need to follow strict internal governance. And most of the time under staffed. If you are assigned to a project, you are also required to take up support role as well

- Do they follow the same remuneration scheme and job grades as Petronas itself?
Same perks with parent Petronas?
They have their own T&C

- Are there many iPerintis folks who remain with PetICT today? Because as I look back, there were ample iPerintis discussions back in the past on Lowyat, but nobody discusses Pet-ICT nowadays.
Got

- Do senior executives have greater autonomy than junior execs? How do you describe their 'freedom' or autonomy.
Usually like that la

- A lot of 'redtape' to get things done? Protocol? Paperwork, approvals, etc.
Very

- A lot of training provided?
They have budget for that

- I believe their technologies are quite niche and vendor-specific correct? It's not like those IT houses that churn out apps, webpages, using PHP, Java, .NET.
Usually only proven techs. Always 1 version behind to make sure they're using the most stable version.

- How many years does it take for Senior Exec to be promoted to Manager level?
Difficult to say. Based on performance most of the time. No automatic level upgrade.

- I noticed they advertised a lot of Manager posts on jobstreet. Meaning that they hire managers externally on equal basis with say internal promotion?
They have a lot of vacancies.

- Are their Contract positions mostly converted to Permanent at the end of contract? Will they be easily retrenched during oil volatile prices?
Easy to convert if u perform.

- Is the office now only at Exxon Tower? The office in Menara Perak, etc still functioning today?
Not anymore. All moved to Exxon.

Is it expensive to commute and eat lunch here?
I suppose one can LRT to KLCC and then walk the tunnel to Exxon Tower via Aquaria?
Food will be on the higher cost right?

Heard that only Maxis has good signal in the towers?

i want to know have any open vacancy at this moment?

pakdamek now you work with picit ke?

Is OpenText department good?
They do stuff like SAP?

If someone from outside klang valley to work at petict, where is the best location to stay?

Its a longer walk from pavilion to exxon tower conpared to klcc station walk to exxon tower?

Do most staff here drive to work? The open air parking is free to staff?

1)Do you work there?
No. I'm their customer.

2) How do you apply @ get work there?
N/A. Easy for us because we can apply for internal transfer.

3) I have 2 years as cloud eng. Mostly i can only see managers level
Got exec too, just send your resume. They'll put it in the talent pool.

4) What advice for me if i want to work there someday?
Prepare to wear full business attire.
Prepare to work extra hours.
Prepare to multitasks.
15-20 support tickets a day is a minimum. And, you need to work in projects as well. Its quite challenging. But they're not stingy in paying good salary.

If I'm a person who hates 'redtape', protocol, just wants things done quick and 'dirty' even. Will I fit with Pet ICT?
No. Impossible. Everything have committee. Simple change as "fonts" will need to go through multiple level of approvals. So, you can imagine. That's for SAP of course.  But sometimes, for non-core application projects, they're going cowboy style as well. Not that rigid la.



Compared to say.

A person who upholds high level of  SOP adherence with not too much questioning.

Because I used to work in an organization which is MNC, the culture is pretty SOP-less. As long as the immediate lead gives an OK, things are good to go. No filing approval papers, no meetings to justify new approaches. We do have daily informal Skype calls with regional teams in other continents to discuss system issues and problems and plans.

But things are pretty much flex. Even WFH is allowed.
What they want is the result.

Sounds like u worked in Dell or HP before or those type of MNC companies. Well, those MNC's they're working project based and result oriented. As long as the solution works, then it is ok. less documentations, less approval authority. If they don't like the project, just capitalize it and let go of the resources.

In PET-ICT, they're the CMMI type company, full process oriented. and its proven to work.

WFH is unheard of at PET-ICT. Maybe in rare cases only.

I heard PET-ICT uses Accenture and Deloitte consultants alot. Can goyang kaki get the consultants to do the heavy lifting?

They use those consultancy resources because they don't want to hire on their own. Projects comes and go, and too costly to hire on permanent basis.

How to goyang kaki if no internal resources? they are hardworking people and I rarely see that type of goyang kaki people in PET-ICT. The competition is very healthy and competitive environment.

The only IT organization so far I seen not judging you by ur skin color. :-)

hahahah they still goyang kaki, they used other brain then implementation other parties too...they just govern n goyang kaki. Btw im from petronas group too, all inside pocket already. lel

well. sorry for your bad experience. Though, as a Petronas group employee, ur supposed to say the good things only. ;-)

We have internal channels to report our dissatisfaction.

They're not bad, just need a good push only ;-)

Tuan,  i did not expressing anything, in fact that the reality, and when you are in that position im sure u enjoying it too...this is not bad exp at all. in fact i love it coz im in that position. Cheers Mate.

OpenText people usually based at customer site....usually with group finance, tax, etc.....

The customers are Petronas itelf? Means at the Twin Towers?

do u have sales people? or just doing after sales/technical support?

But the consultants are hired on multi-year contracts, IBM, Schlumberger etc. No harm being honest like toch3, Pet-ICT good place to chill and goyang kaki I heard.

Account Manager got

why they so free one?

what does an account manager in ur company do?

They seem to have a lot of extra curricular activities don't they? Like Futsal etc.

Btw it seems like from the pictures posted, majority is Bumi staff. Non Bumi staff numbers pale a lot on comparison? Harder to enter?

Do they blacklist you in future if you reject their offer?

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

pakdamek
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?

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

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?

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?

15k salary attainable for Senior Exec role?

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

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

hahahah they still goyang kaki, they used other brain then implementation other parties too...they just govern n goyang kaki. Btw im from petronas group too, all inside pocket already. lel

Where can i find pet ict vendors?

You will hit salary ceiling first before hitting 15K.

Was from iperintis last time...really relax life.....at Menara Perak that smelled like shit

LoL.. really free life? no stress?
What's your reason for leaving?

heard the cio was shown the exit door..any insider info?

My friend just told me that PET ICT will be placed under PET digital department. So, no more Pet ICT moving forward. They will be reporting directly to the CEO.

How does it impact existing staff? Have retrenchment or change or benefits?

Can non bumi join this company?

Fired? The guy from Accenture?

Hi guys, any idea hows petict working environment now days?management good? Worklife balance? High workload? Everyday go back late .etc? Is it a recommended working place? I got a contract position with basic benefits compared to my current company permanent position. The only petict pros are salary increment and career growth. Not sure is it worth to jump unless working environment is good

Working life balance depends on team or department bro. But most of the team busy and workloads are quite high. You better work with PET ICT vendors is you want to get better exposure since you are contract. Contract staff quite difficult to convert to permanent.

Increment so-so only, but bonus average 1.5-2 months.

Any idea how is the OpenText department like?

Accenture, Avanade, FPT Software Malaysia, Capgemini, Delloite , Isistech..depends on department and technologies that you are working..

What happens to majority of Contract staff after they matured the Contract? are they forced to go home and find a new job?

Most of them will be renew if they still required. Contract can be extend or renew based on the hiring manager.

Heard about anybody booted off before Contract mature?

And also, as some said since if a person is on Contract does this mean his KPI is evaluated less vigorously?

And a contract staff will not have bonuses and increment?
