Currently promoted leaders are Credit grabbers if you will become a contributor so don’t contribute enough.They will just tell the higher management that they are good leaders but individually, you will forever be an associate who will contribute more until you are working 24 hours shift.

The company has gotten progressively worse over time but has rocketed towards a terrible place with no pros at all since going public. They laid people off during Thanksgiving without telling them. Instead they allowed them to make their morning commute only to find that their badges didn't work. Then they packed that person's desk in front of all other associates and brought a box out to the former employee. The people that remain are the absolutely worst people you could work with and for. They are petty, mean spirited and are always looking for opportunities to make each other look bad. The Sr leadership drives this type of environment and praises it. Executive directors micro manage every facet of the role and cause problems, which they then blame their direct reports or lower level engineers for. Self accountability is heavily avoided and I have personally witnessed someone going to HR and then being fired in an act of retaliation. Working here has been the worst decision I have made. It has been a terrible 11 years and I pray I'm the next person to be laid off. At least I'll get severance.

I had a negative experience with my ex-manager at this company. They treated employees poorly, with an old-fashioned philosophy of work where the boss's opinion is always superior and not to be challenged. In my experience, my opinion was not respected, and my ex-manager made me feel psychologically tortured. I believe that this management style creates a toxic work environment and makes employees feel undervalued and unsupported. I hope that the company takes steps to improve their management practices and create a more inclusive and respectful work culture.

Very bad working hours to the point that you wan to leave

Constantly changing hands, always making cuts

Big company politics. Contradiction of business strategy.

I took a severe pay cut to move to Ingram. The benefits help make up for that, but I can't pay my student loans with dental insurance. Pay is low across the board (15/hr for a candidate who can write VBA programs when other local companies offer data entry positions at the same rate is frustrating) and if you accept a pay cut to enter the company, it will haunt you for your entire career there. When you apply for a higher grade position they add a certain percentage to your current pay and expect you to be happy. Always negotiate your entry pay and promotion pay (raises can't really be negotiated). There's also a lack of mobility. You're locked in to each new position for at least a year. In that time you're not eligible to apply for a different position. I've seen some truly great candidates be passed over for much needed promotions and someone else who isn't as qualified/experienced be selected. Some managers may also use write ups to lock you in for 6 months. Even if you trust your manager, don't discuss your plans to move to another team until you've been instructed to by your recruiter. Managers get nervous when they have a lot of people leaving, so they're under pressure to keep you in place.

Very hard to work in that company

- Not enough training - Siloed departments

Within a particular pay Grade, the movement up the quartile pay scale is very slow.

Pay could be higher or help on commission

Low salary. Workload equal to one person doing 2-3 jobs, and long hours. Little opportunity for advancement. A lot of gossiping and distrust among employees. Most of management does not care about employees, only the bottom line. I regret working for this company, bad career decision.

They don't care about people No respect

To much red tape to get things done ; several processes and positions that add no value

Salaries could be higher for a strong company that is a leader in this industry.

It was just okay. Now it's a big mess.

Slow career progression. Changes on mangement

Poor Management, Poor Work/Life Balance, Terrible customer

Can't think of anything so far!

Slow Promotions No Other Perks and Benefits No Bonus

Large organization so not always as nimble as could be

There's a poor level of organization.

1) Too Much Politics 2) DGM's & Product Team treat Sales folks in the worst way . 3) Slow Growth & No Vision 4) Frequent layoffs to show profits of India BU.

As of my experience, there are no cons.

They’re adding more RTO. They promoted a manager with no people skills or experience resulting to bad management.

Under staffed teams, support the global teams round the clock

Nothing to complain about really, a bit low salary.

I echoed the comments posted by the technician in Singapore dated 24 Feb. The MD's behaviour is unacceptable; always shouting and verbally abusing staff which was the reason why l chose to leave the company just a few months into the job. I was surprised that a huge American MNC can allow such barbaric and ungroomed/ unprofessional behaviour. The HR in US HQ is fully aware but condone such behaviour. However, I really salute all his directs for being able to take such horrible treatment from him, or rather, the advice is if you want to work here, you probably need to be someone without pride. Eye opening experience as I thought then i had joined a large successful MNC but ended up joining a company that run like a small local business with the boss always shouting at everyone.

Toxic environment competing for survival

lack technology advancement high volume comms

None that I can think of
