Toxic Culture ruining career - werkgeversreview Legal Assistant bij Tianda Group

Relatively nice office. A bridge away from subway. People come and go so quickly so that tasks needed to be picked up in haste with very steep learning curve.

All previous reviews on Glassdoor are true. With emphasis on belows: 1) Failing business - negative growth and downsizing a lot of departments, such legal, branding, corp com, real estate. HR remains strong only to execute those exits (no value-added). IT also over-staffed without reasons. It has no system infra except website JM9. 2) Toxic culture and no respect to employees - root of high turnovers and terminations within probation periods. 3) Heavy criticism and harsh tones in daily communication from boss - intolerable for any normal working staffers. 4) Always on hiring streaks - due to no talents and low budget. Most ads are fake. Even at final rounds HR are ordered to deduct expected salary by 30%. Or withhold 50% as performance based salary. Unwelcome in general HK job market. 5) No base salary increment for 3 years - not even bonus pool - rendering all monthly, quarterly, annual self evaluation reports meaningless. No response from boss anyways (but must submit to HR).

Excellent office location; Best sea view of Hong Kong from the office; 14 days of annual leave, plus one extra day for every 3 years of service; Harmonious working relationships; Five-day work week, no weekend overtime, and no requirement for overtime work on weekdays; Annual employee health check-up and medical insurance provided; Discounts on company products for employees during holidays.

The boss speaks very directly, focusing on the issue rather than the person; need to understand his true needs. The company culture needs improvement, and need to increase team building activities for employees.
