Hikvision Reviews

I am writing to anyone considering a position in the marketing department at Hikvision. It is my duty to advise and save anyone who is contemplating employment here. The marketing management needs a complete facelift, and uses political correctness in an abusive manner. The workload demands and expectations are not realistic, management takes the job of 5 people and tailors it into 1 role. The team spirit is superficial, the department lead is two-faced with no concept of work life and family.

1. Poor company outlook - Hikvision products are allegedly involved in human rights abuse and is currently heavily sanctioned by the US governmet; no new products are allowed to register for sale 2. Rampant sexual harassment against female employees during work and company events that goes unaddressed 3. Racial and sexual discrimination by management - the task/projects you are assigned and the respect that you are given at work largely depends on your race and sex rather than your performance and ability 4. Poor management and planning leading to shifting project directions, often resulting in projects being postponed indefinitely 5. Toxic managerial styles - several managers in multiple departments tend to exert their authorities by yelling profanities and practice the "putting you down" technique at work and in meetings 6. Non-collaborative environment and toxic coworkers - coworkers like to snitch on each other for their own benefits and attempt to take credit for each other's work 7. Minimal and restricted career opportunities - headcounts and promotions are solely decided by headquarter in China based on metrics unrelated to your performance 8. Low emphasis on building positive company culture - teambuilding funding is the first to go during budget cuts 9. Inflexibility with hours and remote work privileges - as a surveillance company, the building is equipped with cameras and management and HR will often pull records to confirm the time you arrive and leave office even for salary employees that are often required to put in time outside of work hours (no overtime) 10. Incompetent HR department - although the benefits may sound good on paper, navigating through the incompetency and high turnover at the HR department makes it difficult to receive and ensure the benefits you are promised
