- The company suffers from poor management structure, making promotions extremely difficult, even if you consistently perform well.
- Management regularly assigns additional responsibilities without corresponding promotions or compensation.
- Reorganizations occur approximately every three months, creating instability. During my time at Qcells, I experienced multiple manager changes and frequent layoffs affecting colleagues. Despite this uncertainty, there was constant pressure to perform at a high level.
- Teams often receive unrealistic goals, making genuine success nearly impossible, which negatively impacts performance reviews.
- There is evident favoritism and discrimination, particularly against employees who are not from Hanwha/Korean
- Certain management personnel repeatedly caused issues without facing any accountability or consequences.
- The Axia subsidiary is particularly toxic and challenging, marked by a hostile work environment.
- Workplace politics and backstabbing are rampant, making it nearly impossible to maintain integrity and be the "good guy."
- Bonuses are rarely paid out, and even when promised, they are not guaranteed.
Look, there is so much wrong with this company that I could write a thesis and publish a scientific article on how bad it is.
Just take my advice and stay away from Qcells unless you literally have no other way to pay the bills.
I am 1000x happier since I left this company. I feel like I got out of prison.
