Pls share.

Currently still hiring alot of people. They're growing and focusing alot here in Malaysia. I see new faces almost every week.
The interview process is relatively short compared to other companies, less than a month from first contact to confirmation.

workplace culture
- US-style MNC. But due to clients being global, some department might be a little bit more stressful than others. But they're willing to send you around for training.

pay
- Above average of surrounding/similar companies. That doesn't say much since Malaysian's starting wage is just disappointing.

benefits
- A LOT!

But due to me signing a disclosure agreement, can't really write it here. But can say that its much much better than multiple companies

career advancement opportunities
- They're quite open in you changing departments whenever there's an opening. But depends on your capabilities & experience.

For new opening, they focus on internal hires first & foremost. Alot of people I've met came from different background as well. But most, if not all of the opening sans technician/operator roles are for experienced hires. I saw alot of openings for Managerial roles as well too.


Just a few caveats, location might not be great to some due to it's placement being far from Butterworth & the Penang island itself. Just be mindful that good english is required during interviews, work etc etc.

How is the pay compared to the likes of AVGO AMD?
AVGO RSUs are crazy, AMD gives 30% increment for jump

Nearby is not much of a comparison for semicond. WDC pays peanuts, Micron is okay but environment is toxic.
As to the other upcoming semicond companies, I am not so familiar.

I don't really know anyone that works Broadcom nor AMD but got friends in Intel though.
They do offer RSUs here but I didn't really looked into it that much.

Kinda hard to compare much since LR is actually a wafer machine manufacturer rather than chip manufacturer. Micron, Intel & AMD are they type of people that buy our machines.

The other comparable ones are KLA, AMAT & Tokyo Electron. None of them are here locally. I received 50% increment compared to my last job so it's quite alot for me.

Environment is quite relaxed. Nothing like Jabil.
