Seagate Global Business Services (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. Employee Reviews & Ratings

Needs to modernise work/life balance more. Could offer more remote working.

There are small rats and big rats inside. If you have good cheeses, you'll have to put those into secured positions. You'll have to let them know that they are not free. If they find those and devoured all of them, they will bite you absolutely.

The worldwide company financial goes drop badly which impact to us as employee

Really really bad management. No value for employees and very frequent RIFs.

so far nothing all good

n/a its pretty good overall!

A lot of documentation, process and trainings.

No mentorship and guidance given to new staff. There is a mismatch of expectations between management and engineers, so your contributions as an engineer will be either overlooked or used to pad your manager's portfolio. No exposure to other departments or senior management as an individual contributor, which means your career growth and opportunities are limited, unlike the high-flying execs who get promoted or rotated into new roles almost every other year. Rank-and-file staff stay stagnant in their cubicles at the same function for years (and your pay reflects that too). Hire-and-fire mentality, hence engineering is seen as a cost centre and thus treated like a commodity to be scaled up or down as needed. Which is also why opportunities for engineers to move about are few and far between since the company sees no point in investing in a cost centre. Retrenchments and reorganisations will be on your colleagues' minds most of the time, which makes for a very gloomy atmosphere at work. Colleagues are generally alright with the exception of those who gossip a lot or contact you outside of work for meaningless issues. Most coworkers are still friendly and helpful but don’t expect a lot of product-specific knowledge transfer since everyone is protective of their portfolios, which affects their ricebowls. People generally keep to themselves here even though company events are conducted from time to time. Compared to other places I’ve worked at, the onboarding process was done without much thought, and with outdated materials as well. Offboarding was done similarly haphazardly as well, with people contacting me for admin issues even after leaving the company. For what they are worth, HR seems to get more perks than core engineering in Seagate. :)

Upper management retrench people without rationale.

Full of Political wrestling. You have to select the right side and cannot think what is best for company. The successful goal is to make Sales team happy.

Tough challenges. Need to deliver results quickly. Can be quite stressful.

Union for operators keeping them down

the people are not trustworthy.

Low Salary, Low Bonus, -, -, -

No bonus, as the company performance is bad

Slow Promo Low or no Bonuses Low increment

Generally Indecisive on product roadmap

Every year Layoff Every time organization restructuring Every time goal/plan/priority change

Nothing everything is fine no cons

wfh, less aminities, less goodies

Company does not focus on tech. Spends all it's time on woke initiatives, while market share wissels away. Quarterly RIFs. Pay cuts.

Nothing I can tell or think of now.

Some higher ups can get quite overbearing, but will tone down once highlighted.

Poor pension. Stale senior management.

More meeting less work Very few stocks No good hikes

Nothing as such …all is good

lack of focus on certain projects

pay is not as competitive compared to others

No clarity on the upcoming projects

Need innovations and diversification to stay ahead.

Politic within small bos lazy work

limited financial growth environment make it very cost focused

No career progression in seagate

Limited Flexibility, Office Politics, etc.

The company focus on working from the office more.

Nine to five strict work hours

Low salary, lot of bureaucracy

Somewhat old school tech culture

Unpredictable layoff which can result in unemployment for the individual.

Lots of layoffs lately and bad management

no OT for Engineers very little increment

Hit or miss management some are great some are not so great. Ultra low budgets.

Sunset industry..... old tech.... cannot last another 10yrs

Job unstability. Make you work a lot

HR services stall from time to time, there is a tendancy to bring people to the office as much as possible

bureaucratic; centralize authority; budget is none to existence.

-Due to low pay overtime is necessary but there is none or controlled -Less benefits especially profit sharing payout -Upper management allow toxic people to roam free without any punishment. Sad situation.

no con as such in the company

Needs to modernize internal tools and platforms Puts the lean in "lean manufacturing" More communications from leadership
