Do they provide transport allowance since the engineers need to drive around to sites?

Executives will have their own cubicles with partitions?

SP offer highest mileage claim of $0.70 per km for car
The cubicles will depend on the office location u work at

Oh, $0.70/km is high. Previously I heard was only $0.65/km.

If work at NGCC, do the engineers have their own cubicles with partitions?

Unlike in other companies I worked at, this company do not provide cubicles for executive staff! You work at shared workspaces and even your Director do not have their own rooms. They seat literally beside you. It's ridiculous! And they cut bonuses this year. Morale is very low after several electricity incidents and it's very obvious they focus on profits instead of staff benefits.. Sometimes this company feels like an IT company, neglecting it's core business. Those non core business staff like programmers or HR seem to be promoted faster and better paid than engineers. They dominate the promotion list yearly. Instead of hiring more engineering staff to cope, they implemented a manpower freeze to save costs. There are many obvious cost savings measures implemented. Very high turnover rates. Many people are leaving the company or trying to join EMA or somewhere else. Look at their senior management, they have 2 HR heads and still cannot sense the poor morale. I left the company few months back and never regretted. Overall, a **** place to work at. Avoid at all cost.

very well said.. couldn't agree more.
besides, lots of seniors also encouraged to get out before 3-5 years if there's a opportunity. Or else there's high chance you will just get stuck inside forever and if u're not the chosen one then goodluck to you.. Not many employers outside are willing to match your pay package for having such a specialised skillset and also its not so relevant to outside SP. Quite bad actually..

The issue is, by being stuck inside, your year to year increment will never catchup to people who hop (15-20%) every couple years. Opportunity to learn new thing and up ranks also will be lost. This will have huge snowball effect and you will fall behind your peers. Of course this is only referring to the not 'chosen one'. Salary is pathetic. Annual leave 24 days after 10 years is a joke... Other MNC can already get 24 days after 4 years of work. The 20s to 60s ure referring to is belong to those boomer generation who don't really care about achieving higher earning power. If you're comfortable and don't want to progress in career and enjoy being in retirement village, that's fair.

How much is the average annual increment there?
I heard the skills learnt in SP Group are not useful outside. Anybody can elaborate more on this?

Which are the companies that would offer 24 days of leave after 4 years of work? Please name a few of the MNC, we would like to know. Thanks.
