Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions reviews

Toshiba is an incredibly terrible company to work for for these reasons: - Terrible work / life balance : Toshiba measures employees based on how many hours worked beyond 40 hours weekly. Vacation & sick days count against you, so in essence you are rewarded for taking fewer PTO, vacation, & sick type days and for working lots of long hours (80+ hours/weekly). - Little to nil learning opportunities - Toshiba severely discourages employees from spending time to understand something and instead suggests reusing stuff rather than creating something new based on understandings. - No stretch opportunity types of projects - Toshiba has never offered opportunities to learn outside of the box, such as with short (one day, one week, one hour/weekly, etc) innovation types of side projects. - No one knows anything - The majority of the knowledgeable employees (managers, software engineers, architects, product owners, testers) have been resigning in droves non-stop over the past few years leaving a massive knowledge-gap. The impact is severe since work cannot be designed/developed without understanding the business process & how they've implemented their technologies. - No Team culture & Employees only care for themselves - The remaining people who know stuff are truly unwilling to collaborate & aren't at all willing to help even if it is for a quick 1 or 2 minute question, which is likely because performance reviews are based on how much work is done rather than on how much collaboration and teamwork is done. As a result, helping others takes time away from them getting better reviews. - Scrum Story Descriptions & Requirements Write-ups Severely Incomplete and Innaccurate - Missing business value, requirements, & acceptance criteria, and if there is info it is way too technical (rarely written from customer & business point of view). Likely due to knowledge gap. - Terrible Telecommuting policy - All the meetings we have are done remotely via MsTeams, however they still require being physically in the office the majority of the week. This, despite high gas prices & despite sending out company emails weekly indicating new instances of Covid cases found on for several employees across various floors in the building. - Incredibly Cold, Untrusting, & Unfriendly Environment -Never introduced to anyone on team when starting as new employee. Never (not even for a few seconds of time) asked anything about anything related to non-work things (e.g., any plans for the weekend, did you have a good weekend, etc).

Upper management will micromanage every aspect of your work. If you fail, it is your fault. If you somehow manage to succeed, they will take all the credit. Even the new generation products are using technologies and frameworks that are quickly becoming outdated. Based on the rate of attrition, the people that are left, are having to do more and more work. Working remotely is frowned upon.
