Pros
- Comparing against overall construction companies in Malaysia, Gamuda has decent benefits and if you can negotiate (e.g., house, travel, family allowance), but depending on the level. - If the project you are working on is doing well and progressing, an end-of-year bonus will be great. If possible, avoid working on projects that are in limbo. - Salary is competitive and within market rate - Many experienced colleagues you can tap into for knowledge and guidance (if you know where to reach out) - Gamuda tends to work on notable and big projects, which can provide valuable experience in your career development.
Cons
- Growth can be slow if you are working on a project that is in limbo (e.g., projects that are in the planning phase/waiting for approval) - Department and different teams within the project tend to work in isolation, and it can be a struggle to communicate and manage expectations - Some bosses form "clans", and if you are not part of the clan/team bosses tend to push you around the project or different teams without your consent or consideration. This can turn into an opportunity (instead of a Con) depending on how you adapt to the change.
