I rejected the offer from Viztel

I think I won’t be going to work in Viztel KLCC!!

This is one of the most important decision I have made today. After calling Mr Zainal, the CEO of Camtech Asia Sdn Bhd, I think I’m going to accept the offer made by them, and NOT with Viztel.
Camtech will be moving to Mont Kiara end of this month and that played a major role in the selection.

After weighing out several factors, again.. I think working with Camtech as a stepping stone for my career suits me the best. These are the offers made to me from both companies

Viztel
1) basic salary – RM1900/month with 6 month probation and new package will be offered according to performance
2) medical and paid leave only available after the six month period
3) working hours – 9am till 630pm daily, 1st and 3rd Saturdays (10am to 2pm)
4) culture – super Chinese workaholics
5) post – Software Engineer

Camtech
1) basic salary –RM1800/month [plus rm100 parking allowance]
2) medical and paid leaves available
3) working hours – 9am till 5pm daily; flexible hours
4) culture – Melayu yang rilekerz
5) post – Technical Consultant


The reasons of choosing Camtech is because of the work culture that I have understood and experienced before, and also because I have a built-rapport between all the managers and staffs. The salary was not the main issue as I will have further negotiations with Mr Zainal tomorrow. Moreover, Camtech did a favour to me by giving me an A for my internship and also I did not have to submit any CV or application letter to get a job here. It was that easy! The other factor is that Camtech has shifted to Mont Kiara [ lame reason rite?haha] and also I can choose the date whenever I like to start working. During my internship, I can do whatever I like and my bosses will just ignore it hahaha. Ok, the other reason is that Camtech will be having a project in Indonesia/Australia in the next few months and Mr Zainal said maybe I will be posted there.

Viztel has a 6-month probation period and according to my sister, it is quite a lengthy period. She said that if I chose VIztel as a short term career, a 6-month probation is such a waste of time since I’ll be leaving them also in future. Furthermore, no paid leaves and medical for the first 6 months and she also said that other companies usually have a probation period for only 2-3 months. Working till 630pm and working on weekends also was the main factor of not choosing Viztel as my first career.

The money was not the main factor, but then it was the environment that made me decide. Anyway, for now, I do not need to find a place in KL anymore and because the condo in Mutiara Damansara will be completed by July, maybe I will be staying there first with my sister. If I can pancing my mum to get me a rented apartment somewhere in Damansara, that will be surely a waste of money but exciting, I will do it.

So, no VIztel for now. I will be going to reject their offer tomorrow and accept Camtech’s offer. Wish me luck because I want to negotiate the salary in camtech to RM1900.
