iprice group Reviews

iPrice used to be a place where people could grow quickly, with a “learning by doing” mentality and room for experimenting. It used to be a place where there was space for your ideas and opinions, with open communication and mutual respect. As long as you continuously improved your performance and the people around you, they trusted you and your teams strategies on helping the company grow further. And as a result, iPrice had a highly motivated team and grew quickly. Unfortunately, those days are gone. Top management exists of 4 guys who spend most of their days meeting each other, making all company decisions and not give you space to think along. When any other employee in the company goes to discuss or challenge their ideas, the reply will be that "it's already decided". If their ideas don't work out, expect the employee to be blamed for it as they will not question each other or take responsibility. Management is continuously playing a blame-game when things go wrong, instead of focusing their energy on solving the problem. Results speak for themselves whether leading a company like this is a good idea. Also, don’t fall for the claimed diversity the company is promoting. Yes, the 25 nationalities are undeniable, but diversity ends with middle management. Senior management is made up of a little less than a dozen white guys. If you're not thinking in the exact same way as C-Level, you have no chance to climb the ladder. The excuse used is “we will only hire the best and not look at nationality”, which is another way of saying that only same-thinkers are good enough. The few diverse senior managers that were hired before, left as soon as they could or are let go. Management lacks respect for everyone that doesn’t nod yes to all their ideas and doesn’t communicate in the same way as they are doing.

- Bad company structure - Structure of company and team keep changing every few months and you can most of the time find yourself doing tasks that inevitably aren't under your JD - Unfair Salary Range - I know colleagues who got promoted to same position but huge gap in salary difference and the excuse of upper management is always be 'because you are not capable enough but we promoted you' - Mistreating old employees - there are always cases where you find old employees who have dedicated themselves working so hard and so specialised in their area but never got promoted. On the other hand, iPrice hires new employee who has less/no experiences to manage the team. This is ALWAYS the case in iPrice and the team dynamic changes when the Team Lead doesn't know what they are doing and ending up suffocating team members. And as the above point, they are willing to pay new joiner higher than existing employees - Getting thrown into water without any guidance (depending on teams) - Bad training period but you just gotta survive by your own by going around trying to figure out what happens, in the meantime, people are pressuring you to do the job perfectly. - Starting to be rather corporate than startup - hiring bunch of corporate people into company which has changed culture from team-effort into 'pleasing bosses' spirit. - Low benefits - Still don't get why iPrice is so proud of their benefits.. it's really low standard - Pretend they are listening but they are not - Upper management doesn't listen to employees enough and get defensive when there are negative feedbacks by throwing out positive answers that don't actually answer the questions/comments. - Overloading tasks - you will ALWAYS find yourself doing tasks that suddenly assigned to you inevitably and doing it forever as one of your routine tasks. Eventually, you will see yourself doing double the task from last year with no increment. - Skilled and loyal people are leaving from the all above points :(
