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

With the current economy, company is downsizing. Retrenchments, no increments/bonus, staffs are demotivated and are leaving more and more. With no budget to hire staffs, current staffs are taking more work.

Constantly evolving with yearly staff structural change.

Messy instructions given by the upper management.

Less Tax saving benefits for employees

12 hour shifts and you have to work nights. Nights can be quite taxing.

Too many documentations and procedures Complicated working relationships in some groups

Currently frequently lay off and redeployment.

business going bad and low potential

Nothing that comes to mind

You can be fired anytime. I have seen 5 rounds of layoffs in 2 years post covid.

It was alright, not too many downsides.

not very organized. they lack solid structure in place

Less Opportunity for promotion and growth

Always retrenchment & not career secure

Uses old technologies Limited opportunities to learn

Currently company is not doing good from financial perspective. Not good from sw dev perspective

Long hours. Night shifts. Low moral.

nothing I can think of

Learning is a bit difficult. Information isn’t easily shared within teams..

Its a hardware company, no growth for software developers

Compensation is way below par. There are smaller companies that will pay almost double for the same position and rank. This shows not only financially, but also in the average level of talent of engineers. There are some great engineers at the company but the overall average skill level is pretty poor, putting a lot more pressure on the better engineers to perform past their limits to keep things moving. There is also a very big value on company politics at the senior management levels. A lot of decisions are made to make the next guy up the latter happy rather than making the work of the engineers easier or more efficient.

Too old and too stable No career growth

Salary structure is not nice Food allowance is only 1100 per month 3 month notice period Repetitive work

My work could have been more structured

Hire VR More competation Low bonus Aggressive

Low morale, capped advancement, footprint strategy unclear. Worried about them Leaving California

Bonus and increment can be quite low.

It has been 2 years without salary increment and performance bonuses due to current business not good

Nothing I can think of

Career path growth is not that fast.

Culture, work life balance, salary

Upper management is not the most honest and straightforward during hard times

I can not think off any

The worst managers are allowed to stay and flail away at the expense of employees Hourly employees are treated like absolute crap. CRAP!!! Absolutely zero advancement potential. None. You’re stuck. Healthcare? What is that?

Toxic coworkers and 12 hour shifts

Work life balance at seagate

Needs to improve Bonus opportunities

There is no career progression

Only average pay. Workspace is slightly outdated (i.e. cubical area).

Slower pace of things, only decent benefits

Long days, repetitive work, would not recommend

Even after 7+ years in the pune, they dont know how market is in terms of money. From more than 1 year we are looking for a talented engineer to hire and everyone is rejecting because package being offered to them. Even we are frustrated here and just waiting for market situation to get settled. Hard to believe that Seagate has grown such big with such attitude towards employee. Seagate will remain a manufacturer mindset company always where they know to squeeze employee and not give money as per market.

Might be difficult for starters considering pay

Execs getting bonuses when we had a hiring freeze and no bonuses for years

Company does everything to protect the dividend over employees

Many employees did not have important tasks to work on while a handful of employees carried the burden of all of the important tasks. Management cared more about jira status than actual progress. Not a personable culture, after 2 years I still didn't know what several of my close colleagues looked like.

Cons. The best company cons

There really is not any

Unclear direction by leadership at times

Shortage of staffs sometimes leads to work overload.
