you can take it if you only want to stay there for short term.

if you are thinking that they will convert you to perm in the future, then can slowly wait.

Agree. If looking to convert to perm, go in without any expectations. Besides, 4K with night work is a bit on the low side, especially with 13th month included in basic.

For experience and resume, can take the role if you are a self learner but don't expect all roses inside.

hmm, ST environment is really similar to army la. if you like those type of life then you can go ST lo.

Fresh graduate from electrical engineering degree. I am thinking of going to either micron or st eng. Anyone got any working experiences from these two companies?

Recently applied for an opening and received a call from its HR. But only offering a contract position, with possible conversion option in future, not perm position. Reason given by HR was that I am considered a returning ex-employee, and HR policy forbids granting immediate perm position for an ex-employee, even with suitable industry experience.

Wondering if the so-called HR policy for returning ex-staff is real or is the HR trying to bluff me when it can't offer me a better deal. Anyone knows if such a thing exists in HR or just a bluff?

I feel that I should be hired based on my merits and suitability for current position. If I'm suitable for the position that HR is willing to call me up for interview, yet still want to penalize me for having worked for them before? Really sending mixed signals about wanting to hire me.

The policy is true. My previous division had a few returning employees who were formerly perm were rehired as contract (outsourced) employee. Whether will go perm or not depends on headcount and whether the big boss likes you or not.

In general, the time to convert to perm takes 3 to 4 years if your big boss (not your supervisor) is happy with your performance. Other "average" staff will take anywhere between 5 to 8 years for a promotion.

If you are aiming to go far and high in your career, my advise is to stay clear of ST, unless your position is at least a M3 or M4. Then every restructuring you are likely to take on more portfolio and likely a promotion to follow.

I regretted not leaving ST earlier by hoping to convert to perm staff. End up my old division promotes by favouritism such that only a particular group of engineers under a PM gets promotion.

Final decision is still up to you.

if any vp saw this, please go audit and review what your employee are doing. the easiest and fastest cost saving is to remove all the leeches. every project outsource then still need so many people for what. start from those dept with alot of people, just tell them give like 5 name anonymously then you investigate, confirm will hit some of the dead weight. u cut all these leeches means your bonus higher!

Only stupid coolies like you will work hard (though ineffectually) for mediocre pay and pathetic increments upon getting band 3 grading.

ST is go in to jiak liao bee only lah, embrace the reality.
