I joined Sime Darby as a Management Trainee back in September 2014 [Story here].
This company will always hold a special place in my heart, being the first company I joined post graduation.
To be perfectly honest, I chose to join Sime Darby for two reasons;
- Across GLCs, they offered the most in terms of salary and benefits for fresh graduates
- The requirement for the Management Trainee program were quite high (and I'm intrigued)
The basic requirements are; 3.5 GPA, active in co-curricular, good command of English etc
And the assessment center was no joke.
Safe to say, the MTs were among the most passionate people I've known.
4 years in, and never once I regretted joining the Sime Darby family.
I was also very lucky to have experienced working in several Divisions; Property, Plantation, Industrial and Head Office. It was an experienced I could't gained elsewhere.
To top it off, I got the opportunity to report directly to the Head of Risk and CRO. It was quite overwhelming at first, but these experiences shaped me to become the person I am today.
It is with a very heavy heart that I bid goodbye to the brilliant people and the company that has groomed me.
I could attest that Sime Darby is definitely one of the best organization to work in.
A special mention;
- Glenn Daly, Head of Group Risk Management : Thank you for accepting me into the team and trusting me to take over the job scope of a Senior Manager. That steep learning curve really toughen me up and mould my personality
- Gajani Rajah, Chief Risk Officer : The best boss one could ever asked for. Thank you for the push for me to grow. Thank you for all the career advice and I really hope we'll cross path again
- Richard Ong, Kak Suraya, Kak Balqis : you guys really made my days at Sime more enjoyable
Who knows maybe I'll be back in Sime after 2 years :D
