Wilmar reviews

- no health/dental insurance: only health benefits in the form of cash (originally 600, became 800 this year). cash is given out in july and dec. - very stingy: expected to share rooms/beds during overseas business trips, whichever is the cheapest option. not allowed to claim travel insurance, will get questioned by kuok khoon hong’s sister who oversees all claims. flights and hotels are restricted to the cheapest one possible. travel allowance is split into breakfast, lunch and dinner, and on flying days, not allowed to claim breakfast is flight is after 5-6am (depends on whether claims team is convinced about your need to claim breakfast). - very lean structure - need to work when on leave and on mc - unclear work instructions but will get scolded by management if you do work wrongly as per your interpretation of their unclear instructions - gaslighting from management: given extremely heavy workload but when it can’t be completed, management will say that you have time management problems. given customer accounts that are infamous in the department for being difficult buyers to deal with but management will say that you are the problem - bullying from managers that is condoned by higher management - a lot of taichi as no one wants to be responsible for anything due to higher management’s tendency to scold and shout and look down on people

As many reviews mentioned prior, traditional company that pays 'big' bonus but low base, especially for the work you put in. Other commodity companies would be suitable with the same work put in. Places more emphasis on how long you've been at the company for. Very top down. Colleagues often mention culture is flat. However this would be a guise for a lacking structure, where too much 'flexibility' means no one cares to improve processes if it doesn't bother them. Resulting in lots of blame shifting. HR is very poor here too, they are just the managements cost cutters and eyes+ears. Don't expect travel insurance even if you're sent to risky places like eg. Africa/Myanmar. Even encouraged to travel to said places without visa but a tourist visa... All in the name of cost savings. Employee handbook also encourages cheap flight and accommodation bookings to 'converse company resources'. While they have sufficient money to buy insurance for storage tanks on ships?! Shows where companies priorties lie Don't be surprised to find the CEO's sister come knocking on your door when your claims seem questionable. Example, you decide you claim breakfast as your flight is at 10am, however it's too late to be considered breakfast if you didn't leave your house by 6am,in fact the solution posed to you would be to have breakfast at home. Here you will not find many fresh grads due to above mentioned. Even if there are, most leave after 3 years. During interview process, negotiating your salary to be more competitive is frowned upon and deemed to be unprofessional here. Never experienced in my career... Advice to prospective hires, come here to learn and leave. Only the rare few with family connections enjoy staying here for long to enjoy special treatment. Best of luck!
