PUMA Reviews

- Hierarchical top-down structure although was told that it is a flat structure. - Management lacks leadership, often fickle minded, does not set clear expectations, change expectations set whenever they feel like it, lacks empathy, often micro manage and likes to nitpick on small mistakes. - Management only cares about company’s performance, KPI and results. They hardly care about the employee’s wellness and mental health. - Authoritative management, management actually walks around office and looks at your screen to see what you are doing. Stressful to have someone looking at your back. - HR processes are not well developed, no clear structure. No exit interview. Induction for new hires was poorly executed. - Strong politics in office especially when several employees talk about management behind close doors. - Management shows favoritism to certain employees and lacks respect to others. - Some managers show little guidance and coaching and expect new employees to perform. - Some managers lack teamwork and communication. Double standards. - Feedback given to employees lacks justification and often unreasonable. - As the Puma slogan goes “Forever faster”, employees are being push to their limits and they feel breathless. Too fast pace with no work life balance. Overall, it was an eye opening and shocking experience in PUMA. It has changed my impression of the company and I will strongly not recommend it to anyone joining at all! It is unfortunate that you have just lost an employee who is passionate in the job and truly care about the company. It is also the first time in my career that I hear feedback given by stakeholders is private and confidential. This is my honest feedback as I was not given a chance to tell the HR department. Thank you for reading my 2 cents.
