MACCAFERRI (MALAYSIA)

Slow and bureaucratic process with mediocre employees managing to scale through the system while the more energetic ones get frustrated. Lack of a clear payscale with possibility to earn higher than more experienced staff. No clear career path and could lead to frustration with constantly changing requests.

Worked with mostly women who acted liked they were still in high school

Too managed by the Family, not a real up-to-date organization and way of thinking. Maybe in the next coming years, strategy and execution could change. New CEO just appointed in March 2018 but it'll take time to understand and (maybe) change.

Too old culture no career path

Everything. Literally loathed life whilst I was there

From management to long-term employees were angry and hostile towards anyone that did not fit into their circle.

The corporate culture was difficult to tolerate. The company was founded in Italy and the head of American operations was Italian. There were some fundamental differences in how they thought a division staffed mostly by Americans should be run and how the Americans thought they should be managed. The upper management positions were mostly devoid of Americans and a lot of corporate communication had to be retranslated from Italian-English to English. There were almost no opportunities to lower my pretax burden (no 401K, no flexible spending for medical coverage, etc.) and the pension plan was a joke. The overall benefits package was mediocre at best, with really bad service from the main insurance company. I received much less support in learning my job from my direct supervisor than I ever would have expected. The surrounding community turned out to be kind of a disappointment as well. It's an area that has seen a lot of good jobs disappear in recent years and has really suffered as a result. Not a great place to move your family, for sure.
