Not bad - Anonymous employee Marshall Cavendish Int Employee Review

accessible to affordable food options and pay is on time. join if you want to slack and do little work for pay but depending on your department.

Full of gossip and conflicts in the marketing team. Many have left because of the department head who creates a culture that is extremely disrespectful and personal mainly coming from her. She has the habit of going behind your back to say nasty things about you to your teammates, gaslighting you and launching personal attacks when she is not happy with no good reason. When you thought you’ve done a good work, and she endorsed it without feedback and is nice about it, it is very disturbing when then the next thing she does, is to say bad things about you to your teammates. During team meeting/lunch, she gossips about colleagues’ (people who trusted her) and senior management’s personal lives and divulged extremely sensitive, confidential and personal information. She used it as entertainment and also for her own personal agenda at work. She will create politics within her own team and if you are not in her clique which is basically not complying to her, you will be in her bully/outcast list. She sows discord between team members by pitching people against one another. When feedback was shared to her about challenges at work, she will use what you’ve shared as her juicy news to gossip (sometimes not even true) to that person and even other colleagues. And if you are in her bully list, she will even gang up with her clique mates and make your life difficult. All this information can be easily corroborated.

Nothing great here to mention!

I had an extremely disappointing experience working here. The workplace culture is toxic, largely due to poor leadership and management practices. Here are some of the major issues I encountered: 1. Workplace Bullying: The attitude of some of the staff was dismissive and unprofessional, contributing to a hostile work environment. Workplace bullying was rampant, with certain employees wielding their seniority as a means to belittle others. This behavior went unchecked by management, creating an atmosphere of fear and anxiety. 2. Lack of Support and Training: Many experienced employees seemed more concerned with job security than fostering a collaborative environment. As a result, some were often left to fend for themselves, leading to confusion and frustration. The reluctance to share job knowledge and support team members made it difficult to integrate effectively into the team. 3. Poor Leadership Structure: The leadership structure is disorganized and ineffective. Decision-making processes were painfully slow, causing unnecessary delays and frustrations. Leadership frequently failed to provide clear direction, leaving employees unsure about priorities and goals. 4. Unclear Direction: There was a significant lack of clarity and direction within the team members. Projects often lacked coherent planning and strategy, leading to wasted effort and confusion about deliverables and expectations. Additionally, the presence of many long-term team members with 5 to 20 years of experience created challenges for the growth and integration. 5. Toxic Colleagues & Management: Overall, the management style was toxic and dismissive of employee well-being. The lack of concern for employees' mental health and the persistent negativity in the workplace made it a difficult place to work. I would caution anyone considering employment here to weigh this and all the other reviews here carefully before making a decision.
