Inadequate Leadership, Poor Management

Pros

This place is a haven for workaholics! You'll be swamped with tasks from day one till the day you bid farewell to the company.

Cons

My experience was marred by poor management and an incompetent manager. Despite the company's promising vision, the lack of effective leadership and guidance hindered any potential for growth or success. - Lacked clear communication and vision. - Failed to provide regular feedback or coaching. (When you provided feedback, the manager will reply, "Maybe you are not fit for this job and should consider finding another one?") - Made unrealistic expectations and targets with minimal resources. - The manager's manager showed favoritism and bias toward the manager. - Was unapproachable and unresponsive to concerns. - Inefficient processes and procedures. - Unclear roles and responsibilities. (Essentially, everything was your responsibility, even though there were over 100 emails and only one person to handle them.) - No opportunities for growth or professional development. - High turnover rate due to poor management.

Thank you for your comments, suggestions, and taking the time to leave an honest review. We regret to hear that you didn't have a positive experience with us in such a short period of time. That is definitely not the experience we desire for people and this is very concerning. It is a shame to read that you were unsupported by your manager and felt overwhelmed with tasks, along with receiving no clear direction on how to improve the situation. We're truly sorry. We do take feedback seriously and can do our best to investigate. We would be interested in learning more (role, location, etc.) if you are willing to share. That would enable us to dig deeper. Please reach out to us directly at Feedback@nVent.com. We wish things didn't end on such a sour note, but do wish you much success in your next role!
