Good for Learning, Bad for Growth and Fairness - werkgeversreview Engineer bij EV Connection (MY)

Suitable for fresh graduates willing to take on multiple out-of-scope responsibilities with no concern on low pay, offering the opportunity to gain extensive practical experience in a short period of time.

Compensation is relatively low, as the company is a small startup struggling to remain competitive in the market. To sustain business, products and services are often quoted at very low prices. At the same time, engineers are required to work extremely hard — frequently including overtime — to maintain service reliability and ensure business continuity. All engineers are expected to perform Level 1 standby duties, providing immediate support whenever issues arise, despite the job scope outlined in the offer letter never mentioning this nature. Salary increments and bonuses are minimal. Despite the significant workload and commitment required, compensation is often not aligned with the effort contributed, typically due to the company’s limited profitability. Additionally, career progression appears limited. Promotions seem to depend more on personal relationships with upper management rather than capability, performance, or commitment.
