Low pay, low morale

Marketing

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Central location, interesting content, prestigious brand (Nature)

Cons

Low pay against industry standards and a reluctance from HR to acknowledge and address this. Low morale since the merger, with a high staff turnover, lack of development opportunities and constant restructures. Most of the inspirational (and female) senior leaders have now left the company, with those at the top very much set in their ways and part of an old boys club.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great team of people, as this company attracts the best of the best. It also offers good locations and facilities, and in general good daily working environment

Cons

The company does not listen to the employees and has no consideration of their needs/opinions. It now seems like many company decisions are against the well-being of the employees and purely profit-oriented. Now that the company is very large it became very complex and communication of decisions and to the employees is very poor

The worst place ever...!!

Business Outlook

Pros

There are no pros that I could think about. This is the worst company ever. There are lot of stupid politics that the managers play. The apprisals and promotion, 80% are baised on your gender and 10% you speak the language that the managers speak and 10% if you are able to lick you managers and please him. 2016 Appraisals letter given to the employees had the amount 0 mention in it, the company managed to spend 1/- on making the letters. The company managed to screw the career of more than 500 employees who were paid peanuts just because to few managers who were definetly the worst managers ever.

Cons

I would also like to share few facts. The good comments that are mentioned as review on this site and posted by the HR department for making fool out of the interview candidate and about the food, even if the vendors in the canteen serve stale food the admin does not take any action because they get commision out from the vendor outside the company's knowledge. (This was confessed by on of the vendors ) The company has stupid HR policy. Where if a female employee makes a complain for any harassment the employee is terminated without any investigation same as if a male does it the HR does not even bother to ask. I WOULD BE VERY GLAD IF THIS REVIEW HELP EVEN ONE CANDIDATE. PLEASE DONT LOOK AHEAD TO JOIN THIS COMPANY......!!!!!
