I unfortunately cannot recommend Sime Darby Motors based on my experience there. My time with the company was marked by a series of frustrating and disheartening issues, primarily stemming from poor management practices. The management team exhibited a troubling level of mistrust and manipulation, creating a work environment where employees felt constantly scrutinized and undervalued. Micromanagement was the norm, with every action closely monitored and often criticized. Positive contributions were rarely acknowledged, while even minor mistakes were met with disproportionate reactions. This lack of balance led to a highly stressful atmosphere where any error felt like a major catastrophe. The overall work ethic of the management team was questionable, with frequent misjudgments and a lack of support for their staff. This made it incredibly challenging to maintain motivation and job satisfaction. The lack of constructive feedback and recognition for accomplishments left me feeling demoralized and unsupported, leading to a work environment that was emotionally draining. The last few months of my tenure were particularly difficult, to the point where I found myself in tears frequently. This is not an environment conducive to professional growth or personal well-being. In summary, if you are considering employment with Sime Darby, be prepared for a challenging environment with a management style that may not foster a positive or productive workplace.

2. The salary is not the best.

Its a government link company

No parking provided- everyday summon from MPSJ Everyday same Malay oily food No relaxation or mental health awareness The traffic at Subang Aiport road is horrid People here at working for 10, 20, 30 years with comfort zone and no growth mindset Promotions are not given for experience and hard work MIcro aggression on female and lack of diversity, inclusion or equity No work life balance, old people mindset

The commute is the biggest drawback.

- low salary - very fast pace

- hard to get permanent as they use headcount once a year

Far from restaurants to have lunch outside

for me all perfect, so far

Management is at lowest: Aftersales Manager is always unclear and misleads at information Has a huge language barrier (english) The whole aftersales team is clueless about certain process and flow of work Only monthly target is focused but not how to get it in the right way Most of the works done are not complied with any process which represents the brand/principal Above all the aftersales manager has no leadership skills. No wonder employees are always leaving

Poor work-life balance, with frequent overtime and high stress. Low salary compared to industry standards. Limited opportunities for career growth and advancement. Management lacks effective leadership skills and vision. Inconsistent communication and unclear expectations from management. Little to no recognition for hard work and achievements. High employee turnover due to dissatisfaction. Lack of professional development and training programs. Minimal support for employee well-being and mental health.

Manager is too difficult to promote employees,job performance evaluation rating by manager is not commensurate with the work done,

Tight deadlines - month end closing. Limited flexibility. Work-life balance can be tough

Too many bureaucracy and low pay

Pay not that high, toxic culture and no work life balance

Red tape and prolonged turnaround time for HSE initiatives.

Overloaded with work due to so many projects and events

Less increment & high workload

1. Bureaucracy - causing delay 2. Less objective HR at operation/BU level 3. Turnover rate quite worrying

Limited Growth Opportunities: The flat organizational structure offers few opportunities for professional growth and career advancement.

long working hour, but managable

for a Sales Advisor, working time is quite rigid and culture is a bit tense

managment have one side view

Nothing to complaint so far

Career progression is quite slow – it generally takes a long time to be considered for promotion Limited growth opportunities – advancement within the company can be stagnant without clear development pathways. Salary is not very competitive for non-executive roles – compensation doesn't always reflect the scope of responsibilities or market standards

fast pace environment no work life balance salary and work given are not suitable

no good for work life balance

Too local culture, bosses always overwrite the decision made by the managers. It is very political and unfriendly environment. Lots of bullies in the organization.

Lack of professional career growth, anti-social work environment, due to the notorious "luxury" car brand? As much as independent learning is one of the factors, constant scrutinizing and feeling under valued is not helping. Positive contributions are not acknowledged.

Able to adapt in a dynamic work pace.

the people very very toxic. never work here so people can do anything they want and some just can't say a word.
