Pros: I've learned a ton about industrial equipment and how to handle client relationships in the Kuala Lumpur region. The company offers a decent commission structure, which is a big plus. You get pretty good autonomy to manage your own client visits.
Cons: Work-life balance can get tough, especially at month-end. As a Sales Engineer, you're expected to be available for clients, which means long hours or weekend calls sometimes. It's not a typical 9-to-5, even with the hybrid work option.
Advice to Management: Consider implementing clearer boundaries for client communication outside of office hours. Maybe explore more structured support for Sales Engineers to offload some administrative tasks.
