    What’s it like working at ASL Shipyard?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at ASL Shipyard appreciate the availability of a canteen, working freedom, and good leadership. The experience has been eye-opening and enlightening, revealing diverse work environments, and some employees find job satisfaction in their roles. Free accommodation is also provided.

    However, the company is facing financial difficulties, leading to no bonuses, increments, or AWS for employees, and a reduction in annual leave. There are concerns about management, with reports of poor management, micromanaging, and a lack of appreciation for employees' work. Some employees have reported a challenging work environment with a pervasive level of toxicity across all departments, and the company has experienced an extremely high turnover rate. Opportunities for career progression are reported to be virtually non-existent, which can be disheartening for those seeking growth. The negotiation process with the HR Manager can be challenging, with initial salary offers potentially not reflecting market standards. Employees are expected to be all-rounders and able to solve various problems related to production, safety, and stakeholder management, and work must be done within budget constraints, which can be challenging.

    Think before joining.
    The good thingsCanteen in the shipyard but the food is normal and very expensive.
    The challengesNo aws no bonus and no increment because the company is struggling to survive as the business is doing very badly due to poor management. Annual leave was cut to 7 days for all employees. Micromanaging and toxic culture. Management is backwards and unappreciative of staff's work.

    The good thingsThe experience has been an eye-opener and enlightening, revealing the existence of diverse work environments.
    The challengesThe company presents a challenging work environment, with a pervasive level of toxicity across all departments. This has led to an extremely high turnover rate. Over the past decade, there have been no salary increments, AWS, or bonuses, which has raised significant concerns. Additionally, annual leave has been reduced to a mere 14 days. Opportunities for career progression are virtually non-existent, which can be disheartening for those seeking growth. The negotiation process with the HR Manager can be quite challenging. The approach taken often involves intense bargaining, similar to what one might experience in a traditional marketplace. This can sometimes result in an initial salary offer that may not fully reflect the candidate’s qualifications or market standards. It’s important for potential employees to be prepared for this and to advocate for a fair compensation package. I have spent a significant portion of my life in this environment and share my experience in the hope that it will guide others in making informed decisions about their career paths. It’s crucial to consider these factors when evaluating potential employers.
