Sudden probation termination with no clear explanation - Technical Officer Fonda Global Engineering Employee Review

Opportunity to gain exposure to backend system engineering and Cisco equipment. Work involves hands-on learning in a technical environment.

Very little room for new employees to make mistakes during probation. A five-minute overrun of my lunch break was treated very seriously and reflected negatively on my performance. In my previous work experience, whether in small SMEs or larger organisations, I had never been treated this way over such a minor incident. Management style felt strict and, in my opinion, lacked sufficient guidance and support for new hires. I was uncomfortable that my CV was displayed on a projector during onboarding for others to view. In my previous companies, my CV was only been seen by the hiring manager, director, or HR personnel directly involved in recruitment. I found the workplace culture challenging and not a good fit for me. Based on the employment package offered to me, there was no Annual Wage Supplement (AWS), 13th-month payment, or annual bonus. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend the company to those looking for a supportive environment to learn and grow during probation.

Salary paid on time. Management is quite ok. HR is also quite ok.

Mostly doing military camp projects (extremely niche sector). Limited scope in technical skill acquisition and exposure.
