GAMUDA

Pros: You get to work on really big infrastructure projects which looks good on a resume. There are some internal training programs if you seek them out, which helped me as a Project Engineer. Solid exposure to different aspects of the construction industry.
Cons: Career growth isn't always clear-cut; it often depends on project availability and manager favoritism. Promotions can feel slow, especially for mid-level engineering roles. Sometimes you're just waiting for a senior spot to open up.
Advice to Management: Streamline the promotion process. Create clearer career paths for engineering roles so people know what to aim for. Invest more in mentorship.

Pros: They do offer some hybrid options, which is good. For certain engineering roles, you can sometimes work from home a couple of days a week. It's helpful when you don't need to be physically at the Kuala Lumpur office.
Cons: Realistically, for most of us in construction projects, full remote work isn't an option. There's often pressure to be onsite, making true work flexibility hard. It can be tough to juggle personal appointments with strict project timelines.
Advice to Management: Try to standardize WFH policies more across different departments, even for site-based engineering roles where possible. Give teams more autonomy to decide schedules.
