Pros: People are generally friendly, especially within your project team. There's a solid sense of camaraderie on site, which helps a lot when you're dealing with tough deadlines in civil engineering projects. For a mid-sized firm in Kuala Lumpur, they do try to keep things positive.
Cons: The company culture gets tough during crunch times. It's really common for site work to demand extremely long hours, which can burn people out. There's not much flexibility for onsite Project Engineer roles, and that impacts overall morale.
Advice to Management: Try to recognize and reward teams more for overcoming project challenges, not just hitting deadlines. Also, look into better ways to manage the workload for site personnel to avoid constant burnout.
