- Poor overall management practices - Excessive Micro management, with some managers focusing on minor details instead of results - A toxic and demotivating work environment - Absence of effective Leadership - Lack of transparency, honesty and open communication - No structured on-boarding process, new hires are left to figure things out on their own from day 1 - Some managers treat employees as disposable rather than valued team members. - No recognition employees efforts', the focus is instead on monitoring who you interact with when you arrive, and when you leave rather thanon actual performance or contributions. - Although the company promotes diversity and inclusio, the reality is quite different: immigrants and locals are treated unequally,with some local employees being used by some managers to monitor colleagues throughout the day and report every minor detail. - HR is completely absent,siding exclusively with managersand failing challenge questionable decisions
