Electrolux Home Appliances Sdn. Bhd. (Global Shared Service Center) Employee Reviews & Ratings

Too much middle management, too many chiefs not enough indians

People have their own cliques and not open to including new colleagues. No introduction to other colleagues so until now I barely know a handful of people in the office. Office is rampant with politics, if your boss hates you for some reason, no matter if you are a high performer, you're done.

Treated like a number. Brutal place to work. Avoid.

time will tell... outlook is good

Communication , and no room for promotion.

- Company is big, so changes take some time before implemented

Employee cost of benefits is high for basic. Substandard support of white collar employees during on boarding process (90 day plan not utilized beyond 1st week or two)

Lot of projects to follow, not enough resources to do it properly in the right way.

Needs stability, direction, focus, deeper bench

No planning for HR, bias to European, no clear career progression, non ethical HR practices from HR directors in HQ

The jobs hurt your body

Raises suck, even when you excel. Now they took our PTO away, cutting our time off in half. Management does not make sure the facility is clean and in good repair. Safety is basically ignored, except for the things that the employee has to do. If management needs to do something about safety it goes unheeded. Parking is difficult.

MIddle management, product release, customer service is horrendous

Poor payers, nearly all direct competition pays more money

Low level of engagement from upper mangagement, no pride in the products, no room for pushing boundaries, no innovation and sloooooooow decision making process from that same management. Electrolux is a product company that's run like a financial institution

Career path is almost unclear due to high stability so movement always by personal knowlegment or your relation and support from other top managment team. If you are egyption with no other nationality you chances to move on board opportunity is almost Zero even your qualification is meet or over expectations.

Lack of process governance and communication top down

A bit messy company structure. Very bureaucratic.

Human Resources department doesn’t work.

incompetent and unprofessional management little to no value given to employees team leads socialize while their agents struggle

Roles and responsibilities might be blur at times due to a complex organisation.

It is a shame when I started working there the art director was retiring.

Need to meet expectations of local boss and regional boss Long hours and lack of work life balanced

Moving up in the company can be overly structured

Very outdated financial systems and manual processes. Dished out policy change with every management turnover with limited follow-through.

Leadership is unable to make decisions and stick to them. They lack vision and direction.

Egos steer rather than strategy at timmes

No set path for employee advancement.

different teams working in silos

Bully management style. Very weak leadership at all levels.

Clueless, lazy management and bad work/life balance. So much wasted time.

Traditional brand slow to accept changes, positions doesn't always represent skills but time spent at the company

Absolutely NO management NO processes NO employee retention Just an over all horrible environment to be in. They will overpromise and lie in interviews about the company culture, career opportunities, etc.

The way the hours are set up

using MVP model creates a lot of pressure at all levels. Entire organisation works very lean and expectations are extremely high.

I don't know of any cons in Electrolux

there are a lot of re-structure in the company

A lot of Diversity , political, tuff environment, 24/7 working

Corporate organization sometimes limits employee performance.

Things can be slow in the beginning. You must make an effort to get exciting projects.

Strict hierarchy, lack of career planning

No Employee Share plan at all

-Requires a lot of politics to get anything done -A lot of paperwork

Some subsidiaries are far away from the global culture, did not have economic support from global and could not use/get the information and best practices for other countries.

No bonuses and you have to work until you get rate

Too many recent organisational changes in APC region with very little engagement from leadership.... maangement structure and style also mirrors Europe which isn't practical for this region. Generally, poor engagement from HR and practices/policies are not consistent,...Diversity & Inclusion culture is expoused but very Europe-centric middle management and leadership (leaders have little relevant APAC experience) and focus is not on internal growth and movement for local/APACtalents.

no downsides at all good company

APAC HR hires tonnes of foreigners to first cut a whole layer of regional people, some of which were identified as high potentials just a moment ago. They hire only foreigners and not locals, except in the case where they need people to do dirty work. As such, hiring and "internal transfers' are granted to foreigners who have no experience of the diverse APAC region. Management wastes money for expensive and redundant off-site meetings, dinners and unnecessary travels only to ask the rest to be prudent on costs. Gives out tonnes of t-shirts and mugs to try and boost morale not understanding none of these feed people's families. About to undergo another round of cuts in wages, after 2 rounds of restructuring within a year, all in the name of covid-19. No leadership from the APAC management team in taking the lead by cutting their own salaries, only so-called "leaders" trying to siphon company resources to "work-from-home". Those in the management here in APAC are incompetent and only here to enjoy their benefits and cheap travels to exotic Asian locations (beats travelling out of Europe), without trying to hire, grow or, less to say, care about the livelihood of local employees. They can talk, they sure can, but that's about it.

Organization strategy. It felt like they could not get out of their own way.

Unorganized, have to reserve vacation for shutdown
