Electrolux reviews

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.

This company is so archaic and full of themselves. They are operating as if the market is still in the 1950's. Competiton is so fierce now with big competitors from Korea and China but Electrolux has not changed. It still moves at a snail pace and moves in all types of directions. Everyone and every function are to themselves. Not only that they are not working together, they are working hard to undermine each other. Products are outdated and have very poor quality. Quality is not in their vocabulary. I didn't even buy Electrolux/Frigidaie products for my own use even though I had 50% employee discounts. Cronyism and nepotism run rampant in this company. Don't expect good raises of you just focus on doing a good job and not kissing your managers' butt They waste so much time and money with the Swedish global interference. Most of the global folks are so unqualified and not adding value to local business. Yet teams here have to wear dual hats and most often with conflicting directions. This place is like a jungle! Quality of leadership team here is so poor and uneducated. Most of them never finished college or if they did, they went to some small boon doggied colleges. Last CEO McLoughlin really screwed up the business here by going after GE appliances at all costs. Stupid decisions!! Current CEO Shaw is over his head and is clueless on what to do. If you want a good job that you can contribute positively, build a career, and feel good about what you have done, then STAY FAR AWAY from this place....... If you want to pass the time, don't do anything positively for the company, but good at kissing up your bosses to survive then this place is for you. You will do well here.
