Taylor's College Employee Reviews & Ratings

- Political AF. Gaslighting and blaming? Cliques? a norm - Little work-life boundaries, you're expected to complete work regardless of deadlines. pick up a phone call without any notice (disturbs your workflow). also get calls on my off days, if you don't pick up, it becomes a performance issue... 'not responsive' - Not transparent, wont disclose the big picture but keeps you working by following instructions, or they will let you drown with mixed instructions - Pointless and endless (a whole-day) meetings (suspecting the leader is lonely and doesn't have friends to talk to so they force everyone to sit in the team meeting for an entire day) - Unclear expectations of work ('be yourself' and at the same time 'be professional'. so which is it? what does that even mean?) ('be creative and explore' = do it properly the first time with little time for research?) - Questionable sources and references for education content, one of the courses had only 1 reference for the entire course, and is the 'for dummies' book, like cmon. is this really the standard? you end up picking up the slack to find other relevant and similar resources that come from actual textbooks and things so that you make the uni look good - Some colleagues flirt with you because they think it is ok (it is not) - Exit interview HR won't listen, they hear you and nod, but they don't listen. it's pointless. they make excuses and assumptions even when you have been clear with real examples

Too much work and too many expectations from faculty

Nothing much. Everything is pricy on campus

not enough importance to specific fields

No exposure to the research Not allowed to work after 5 and weekends No one cares

Low basic pay for a fresh academic

The colleague esp the tough strong headed ones and the higher authorities are so afraid to show their superiority and show these humans their place

hourly pay is too less and very stressing

Too many system to log in and internal departments weren't aligned Academia wasn't involves in the Industry to know what is going on the market

expensive cost and tuition fee

A lot of KPIs and innovation - too much at times

The full flexi and open office practice may lead to employee isolation. In long term may lead to breakdowns in unit cohesion

Small area and not that good admin staff

Pressure for admin, teaching and research is amazingly high!

- Toxic work culture - Managers tend to be condesending

not a very well compensated job

please improve better on management

1) Disconnect between Top Management and Education/Research: The top management appears to be out of touch with the demands of education and research. Faculty members are burdened with an exceptionally heavy teaching load, often leaving insufficient time for research, tutorials, and lab classes. This unrealistic workload expectation negatively impacts the quality of both teaching and research. 2) High Turnover Rate: The high turnover rate within the faculty is concerning. The university seems to have a revolving door of faculty members, with more than eight turnovers within six months in the same department. This constant churn disrupts continuity and hampers the development of a stable academic community. 3) Lack of Appreciation: There is a lack of appreciation for the staff's contributions. The perception that everyone is replaceable and can be hired at a higher salary elsewhere is demoralizing. This mindset likely contributes to the departure of high-performing staff members, further exacerbating the high turnover problem. 4) Inefficient Management: The administrative structure appears to be inefficient, with various fragmented systems and websites causing confusion and redundancy. This inefficiency creates additional burdens on staff and detracts from their ability to focus on their primary responsibilities. 5) Unrealistic Research Expectations: The university expects staff to produce high-impact research while simultaneously imposing a maximum teaching workload. This expectation is challenging to meet without the necessary support, such as access to journals and publishers, which should be considered fundamental for academic success. 6) Low-Quality Education: The quality of education suffers due to the high turnover rate. It is common for one module to have multiple lecturers, often teaching subjects they are not familiar with, resulting in a subpar learning experience for students. This is a concerning trend that undermines the university's reputation and the value of its education. Given these challenges, I would not recommend this university as an ideal place for academic or professional growth, nor would I consider it a suitable institution for my own children to study at. It is crucial for the university's top management to address these issues promptly and effectively to improve the overall academic environment and reputation of the institution.

Back to back projects and too much of workloads.

Lack benefits and no perks.

Traffic issues just like any place in Subang

Salary not match workload.. unreasonable KPI. Bad career opportunity.

1. Limited career advancement 2. Funding challenges

maybe some lecturers are not as good

Everything on campus is expensive

A lot of red carpet, bureaucracy and non sense paperwork. Structures and procedures are confusing and non efficient. Too much emphasis on administrative work, less on quality teaching, zero on research. Avoid it if you are striking a balance between research and teaching. Management abusive and disrespectful. A lot of politics.

Fast growing with high technology

University too obsessed with ranking when it should strive on quality of teaching, industry-based learning.

1) People here are very toxic and bossy 2) Micromanaging BOSS, everything also need approval! 3) No motivation to work here at all 4) After working hours, also must work. 5) NO work life balance at all here

Lecturers are hit or miss

Not having enough support or incentives for part time staff.

workload can be quite heavy. lots of paperwork

Location a bit far from public transport

Many mediocre senior mgmt who are giving wrong advice to owner

political, lack of directions, always hire somebody from outside with no experience to lead the team and most of the time make it worst, for Taylor's itself has so much internal "unwritten" rules and regulations. The connection is about everything. Lack of leadership from top management, only squeeze us out instead of lead us to an effective direction. No appreciation shown from the top management for any hardwork. Ridiculous top-down management culture. No career progress for staff, very slow career path, very low salary.

It got tough when the business had some problems with recruitment. Top management had to rationalize so certain tough decisions were made like VSS and quite a number of staff left.

Poor managenent. Money driven company.

It can be very competitive

Nothing is wrong or bad here.

overly heavy job load, a lot of ad-hoc projects.

Sometime is hard to deal with or work with ppl who stay they long enough, especially bosses secretary

No benefits at all. Delays payment (maximum up to 3 months), poor moral support group, poor management in students' welfare, lack of resources for postgraduate students

no cons working for Taylor's Education Group

Senior Management doesn't seem to be proactive in leading teams member in solving issue. Hard to get promotion.

- Repetitive work but easy to work

Resources Fee maintain the same price eventho fully online

Low salary than market range, HR feels like didn’t responsible to their own task and never voice out for the staff

pay lower , dont recognise professional certifications

Their real focus is money. Which is no surprise since its a private institution. However it comes at the cost of real care towards the spirit of education.

Long bureaucracy to propose marketing activity and budget.
