Hrm challenges Bureaucracy Unfair metrics on diverse markets

Horrible Senior Leadership at the U.S. headquarters. Big European publicly-traded company bought a bunch of small family-owned businesses and gutted them like fish

- if you don’t speak up about progression, you can get overlooked. - admin onerous systems and incredibly long set up processes which slow customer journeys down. - difficult to negotiate pricing with customers sometimes due to supplier increases with no explanation behind. - office employees struggle with role training and it isn’t consistent between the business units. - no healthcare - low pay compared to the industry

heavy heavy workload that increases more with ability

Too many to list. Every department within the US organization (La Mirada, CA and Westlake, OH) is a mess. Turnover is through the roof because people quit on a monthly basis. If your desperate for income, give them a shot. DO NOT QUIT YOUR EXISTING JOB to work at IMCD. Once remote schedule ends, I’ll be resigning.

Tranparancy between management and employee is still need to be improved.

Management don't trust the lower level employees so lots of effort is needed to get basic information, which really slows things down. You also have to record a lot of information but are unable to access it later, it is like feeding a monster.

If your BU head is not good, then u will not receive any increment and incentive. Even after u do veey good job.

bad management not clear about tasks all months changing in the reponsiblities no product education no training

I felt overworked and undertrained expected to perform without help which is why I felt I had to leave on the end. Left to deal with the fallout. Colleagues are sometimes unfriendly to those who don't fit in but everyone pretends to be cheerful so you don't quit immediately.
