Pros

Strong learning environment with exposure to cross-functional collaboration and useful tools (e.g., CAD, project planning, process simulation). Good opportunities to develop technical skills if you are proactive in seeking tasks and guidance. Supportive and helpful colleagues, and a stable, family-friendly workplace with solid benefits (pension, parental leave top-up, IA company status). Fair starting salary for graduates.

Cons

Limited structured onboarding and follow-up; significant reliance on self-driven learning and informal guidance from colleagues. Lack of clear processes and documentation means you often need to “reinvent the wheel” or actively search for templates and methods. Management is perceived as technically strong but less focused on strategy, structure, and long-term direction. Salary progression is relatively flat after a few years unless moving into management, with historical pay differences between legacy and newer employees.

Pros

MNC, below expected salary, good modern working environment

Cons

Workplace bullying and gender discrimination happen- During the meeting, I didn't say or ask much, so the boss accused me of sleeping in front of people. Because a male colleague looks like their previous colleague, they only answer and explain when he asks a question. After that, when I ask a question, they tell me to check with Copilot. As a result, I don't dare to ask questions anymore during meetings, and they directly accuse me. After the meeting, when I ask them questions, they say they are busy and tell me to train myself.
