Poor salary, poor annual leave, poor pension, poor work life balance
Toxic atmosphere and arrogant senior management. Promotions and pay depends on your likeability factor. Pretend to flatter their egos and entertain their nonsense. Amateurs and clearly bluffers, stone age systems, cheap computers, cheap printers, embarrassing IT helpdesk.
No staff are replaced, promotions are non existent with little to no wage increase.
No staff-room. Options are eat at your desk or eat out every day.
Management across the board! ...and I do mean across the board! ...From top office level, even across to HR. The well-below market pay, having to make sure HR has paid you correctly and management's avoidance/reluctance and discouraging nature on having discussions about salary increase. Culture and people. Working at Istituto Marangoni was like asking 'What came first? The chicken or the egg?" By that, I mean: The culture at Marangoni has genuinely been the worst I've experienced working for any company. Management and team leads were extremely rude - dare I say they'd long crossed over into bullying (targeting those they don't like and finding fault in anything) territory, based on some of the obviously uncalled for/ridiculous encounters I'd been on the receiving end of and some conversations with colleagues who have, randomly and of their own accord, confided in me about unprofessional/uncalled for remarks they've heard individuals say in the office when the 'person of discussion' isn't around etc. This all makes me wonder: Did the toxic culture at Marangoni make good people turn toxic? Or did the toxic culture, instead, attract the only type of people who could endure there in the first place: toxic people? Now don't get me wrong, there were some cool people at Marangoni, but they were few and far between, as they left - hence the high turnover. One manager in particular would 'act' friendly with you when they get their way...but the second you hold them accountable regarding doing their part of a delegated workload that they'd already agreed/accepted to do in the presence of another manager, but now want to pass onto you when said manager isn't around, they hold a grudge and become an extremely unpleasant character to interact with. I also observed that Marangoni had what I call a 'pass on the message' culture. Meaning, if someone had an issue with you, no matter how small/trivial, people seemed to lack the maturity or competence to address it with you directly. Instead, they'd voice the smallest matter to a manager, to then discuss it with you. Meaning anyone could find themselves having literally a 30sec - 1min convo with a manager about something so petty.
Also lack of training or management, Low team morale
Very heavy workload doesn't reflect on the salary, task allocation is not fair, most of the managers are not qualified, politics- if you don't know the high management you don't get promoted
