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

Overbearing IT, HR pushing progressive ideologies, hard to get promoted at higher levels.

Too many manager to liase

Work schedule and switching between days and nights all the time, which creeps tiredness into your days off Very boring work No job satisfaction Fatigue Mentally and physically rough Sleep deprivation No sense of routine in your life

Good products but support is not strong enough

Depressing culture with constant layoffs

General sentiment is pretty poor. Employees are not excited to be here and it shows. No promotions or raises in the near future, and constant worry of layoffs.

1. If you work hard you will get fired. 2. Product roadmap changes every week, not in months or years. 3. You will be stuck, if you can't talk, will get fired some day for sure.

Promotion may take a while. Depends on your department.

Made to feel worthless as an operator. Management have a real bully boy way of dealing with staff on the floor. The place is full of snakes especially at senior level. Managers think they are above the law most times. Constant bullying if your face doesn't fit their profile. It seriously is the worse place I have worked in. Operators been sworn at on daily basis by UM's. Been told to shut the F**k up and constantly trying to make you feel small. Very few managers and senior managers are respectful (maybe 1 per shift ) The place is top heavy with management who to this day I couldn't tell you what they do. It's a place that makes jobs for the boys and protects them from HR or so called HR. The team in there will 99.9 % of the time take management side. So if you're expecting help or protection from them then you may bury your head in the sand now. Absolutely worthless when it comes to dealing fairly with people. Reading this you may think I hate the place, you would be wrong. I just hate the fact that those who are meant to be there to help you , guide you, assist you, encourage you, understand you and protect you are failing you every single day of your life. Could it be a decent place to work? Yeah of course, but that means clearing out most management and recruiting people with actual people skills. The place is sinking and management have made their money so they don't care what happens next. 228 volunteers put their names in for redundancy when the company was only looking for 68. This alone should tell you exactly what people think of this place. Absolutely awful way of dealing with staff on every level. Even during redundancies the company keeps you in the dark. You hear info from press releases before hearing it in person. Absolute disgusting way to work.

- Frequent changes to product roadmaps resulting abrupt end to some of the work. - Lack of proper technical oversight and the channels for the same. - Overall work culture is not that great

nothing if you work hard

I have not experienced any

Well it ain't Google - either in salary levels or in variety of work. It's a solid middle of the road company. People will always want to save their data. In past years - before 2020 - RIFs were common.

extremely hard to apply for leave for the festival

Decision making from exec team and site leads has been poor Slow to commit to flexible working conditions Difficult progression path

A lot of workload across staff

Expect to work during weekends/public holidays if it's urgent issue.

join here to get yourself spoil and degrade.

Recently become quite too heavy from an organization perspective.

Big swings between ups and downs in the economic cycle

One person working the amount that should be for 2

- low salary especially compared to other companies

Not enough career opportunities to grow within the organisation especially for those based outside the US

Unsociable hours, long hours, slow progression

Out of date technology, no room for promotion

Not much of cons to be honest

Very low increment Hard to get promoted

-Hiring and firing -most of the employees are lazy and seems to do less of works

low career prospect very local management style

Change in management, resulting in major layoffs.

No focus on progression of career

Not too much excitement or change

- must accept to work after working hour to meeting with US and UK colleagues - headcount too low to support all applications after 3 times VSS

Salary might not be that competitive with the outside because this industry is getting to be quite niche

They were very aggressive regarding layoffs. Especially over the last 10 years they had numerous layoffs. Executive management struggled to embrace new ideas and markets choosing to only focus on the core business, even as it dwindled. They had no allegiance to long-term employees. Always thinking they could get the work done with younger, lower paid engineers.

Low salary vs industry std. Poor pension contribution rate.

No progression, developmental opportunities. Meetings for meetings sake. No clear communications from senior leadership.

Too much politics, racism, ganging up against one person from all sides, managers asking RCA for bug can't RCA about dysfunctional team . Favoratism at its peak, a lot of it comes to a point where you really feel like killing yourself rather than working or even existing . No hikes just slavery at it peak. Even senior management has nothing to say . No transperancy at all.

On and off retrenchment happens

Slightly slower than other software based technology firms

Career Progression abit stagnant here

They operate in an aggressive market, when times get tough they have a track record ruthlessly cutting staff.

Layoffs every 2-4 years. Compensation package lags behind the industry, especially if you work in software. Management cycles through over hiring and layoffs.

A lingering uncertainty about the business - used as an excuse to block promotions and payrises when downturn cycles hit. Aging management structure - mostly all over 50 with no opportunity to go into senior roles for anyone else. Definitely still stuck in the corporate boardroom culture of the 1990s. Directors often crack terrible "dad jokes" while engineers give presentations for example. Flexible working - max 20% of your time at home. A lot of jobs can be done from home. Most jobs are still metrics focused/obsessed. Things like chasing single wafer scrap is a waste of time. Yet the yield team pride themselves on pretending that we can assign a root cause to every scrap issue.

the amount of salary does not meet with the work requirements

Not much room to progress

Disliked workplace drama with some employees

Being an international company with location around the world, work/life balance can be a challenge with early morning and late night meetings.

No openings for full employees.

Low salary, average benefits, can be better
