Johnson Matthey Services Sdn. Bhd. Employee Reviews & Ratings

Promotions are hard to come by, but they do exist. Vacation/Sick leave for US employees is not that great. Some union workers don't care about the job that much and make sloppy mistakes which make it harder for you to do your work. Also costs the company money.

Management, and there is a lack of training on dangerous materials.

Local politics in the plants

Diversity amongst management is a joke. Bullying and harassment claims are hushed up, perpetrators promoted whilst others pushed out. People who speak up about diversity and inclusion (if not British white men), it will hold your career back. Same for union representatives.

Too much political correctness, pride and D&I activism

Smaller sites had a hard time complying with the multitude of initiatives sent down from Corporate HQ. Pay is mediocre.

Little room to move up. There is no reward for effort , get less than %3 raise every year due to the inflation of $, not because you are working hard.

Only downside is the work is basically only bench work.

Decisions are made by very high level management teams with little interaction with rest of the teams. There was a constant being at risk atmosphere in terms of job security.

Mentoring Management Unnecessary meetings weekly

At first light they seem professional and welcoming. CHANGES quickly! Vacation time is not much. Must use pto for shut down week.

Management need to take risks and investment for future

onboarding was terrible and never felt integrated. HR nit interested in the people.

See for yourself, it all depends on your leader and specialization

Many divisions, so it does depend on the division you work for as to management style

declining business and increasing workload due to jobcuts

Curious to see what new CEO changes

Disconnected Management: There’s a significant gap between what upper management thinks is happening and what’s actually going on. Decisions are made without considering the real challenges we face on the ground, leaving us to pick up the pieces without adequate support. Lack of Support and Development: The promised support and mentorship simply aren’t there. I feel left to navigate complex challenges on my own, without the resources or guidance needed to succeed. This makes it difficult to grow both professionally and personally within the company. Unhealthy Work Environment: The culture is far too competitive, leading to an atmosphere where blame-shifting and internal politics take precedence over collaboration and teamwork. It’s hard to feel valued when the environment fosters more competition than cooperation. Poor Work-Life Balance: While the company talks a lot about work-life balance, the reality is quite different. The workload is intense, and there’s an expectation to be constantly available, which makes it difficult to maintain any sense of balance in my life. Limited Career Growth: Opportunities for advancement are few and far between, and the process feels more like a game of who you know rather than what you know. This lack of transparency and fairness is incredibly frustrating and demotivating.

Ceo should be changed to a new person

I have no negative comments

Long travel. No real prospects

respect employee needs to be improved

Nothing in cons in Johnson Matthey

bad management team, poor leadership

Location, lean, salary, benefits, food

The role is in the regional offices and is not one where you will see much manifestation of your skills as an engineer as the extent of your advice may be an adjustment to pressures or temperatures. Being focused on sales, significant technical work is not often required so there is not much of a challenge for hardcore engineering minds.

Not really except is is a big company so sometimes having things done can take a lot of time.

Lack of career development No training or progression. No training or hands-on experience with instrumentation. Site appearance is dirty needs a vast makeover to look and run more in line with a 21st century company.

lack of investment, not people oriented, poor communication,

Too much internal politics Intra departmental conflicts

Unfortunately in a lot of respects the organisation is very bureaucratic which is highly frustrating. Basic systems used by the organisations support functions haven't really evolved over time meaning its often really difficult to get things done. The way that appraisal decisions are made is kept under wraps so, although the bonuses received are fair, you never really understood how decisions were made about bonuses which always felt a bit strange. The organisation also suffers from the age old problem of having managers that have got into their position based on length of service as opposed to actual management skill. There is also very poor work/ life balance regardless of your level in the organisation.

Have none to speak of so far.

Not so great people, especially at the very top level.

feels like high school. the HR team is totally unapproachable and rude. every departent manager hires people from their previous jobs and favors them. no work-life balance.

As a company that is growing there are too many changes like new tools, new roles, new strategies not aligned.

Hard to move up past supervisor.

Gets boring quickly. Very very very slow career progression. No rewards or fast-track systems for ambitious employees. You are expected to grind it out in demeaning jobs for years before the possibility of a promotion is even considered. Terrible HR department. Performance evaluation system is completely pointless. No transparency in regard to promotions. Limited training opportunities to expand professional skills early on. Very low salary for the location. On site cafeteria food is horrible... but free.

Everything else...No, I guess I just didnt fit in? Felt very cliquey in the ofice

Nothing in particular but HR practices may be improved

Plant is falling apart. Horribly run company

weak management in India plant

Management stuck in the ways Favoritism, nepotism, politics gets you ahead No career progression giving meaningless work in the name of research

Limited room for progression for employees

poor introduction program. Management keen on only KPI - your health, the hell with it. What I'm saying is: they could have been more supportive...

too slow to go forward

Management has jumbled vision, Theres a strict "path" you must follow to get ahead, very little support from direct boss, favorites are definitely played, pay is low.

Leadership - The top layer of leadership in the organisation is stifling all the good talent beneath them. There is limited room for career development so all of the good people are leaving. I've worked with some incredible people at this organisation - most of whom left due to bad management. It is a real shame as it could be a fantastic place to work if good talent was rewarded.

Poor HR management expecially in saltellite offices Too many projects launched at the same time: lack of understanding what is really important for the company. You can't rework a whole company in a couple of years.

Rotating Shift Schedule, Fast Ramp Up Time.

completing this subject to finish review. No cons.
