Company falling apart in Asia

Anonymous employee

Pros

We used to have great leadership and vision, however that has now gone and leaders simply ask us to cut costs, they are always telling us that we have to cut more people out of the business. There is no diversity and women are not encouraged or promoted in Asia.

Cons

The new leadership is dictatorial and very male centric, there have been many occasions where I have witnessed blatant sexist and bullying behaviour, I thought that this type of management no longer existed.

Pros

-Well stocked up pantry -Nice intra team colleagues

Cons

Management is too occupied with politics game after the acquisition instead of emphasizing on business development. Tech Data used to adopt liberal culture. However, the culture reverted to a more localized and micromanaging style after change of country manager. The merging of two entities in Tech Data takes place very slowly, aggravating the conflicts between staffs and negatively impacts the overall performance of company. Diversity and Inclusion are two of your core values, yet ironically one of the entities in TD is progressively being ostracized and sidetracked. Current company culture tends to suppress innovative ideas and information sharing. Many things are still done manually without leveraging on systematic methods and power of IT. Not recommended to join unless there is major change of management team or management style.

Pros

Sanitary and air conditioned working environment

Cons

My experience with TD was extremely frustrating and disappointing. The company suffers from a lack of proper organisational structure, creating confusion and inefficiency. Leadership is largely controlled by salespeople from China who have manoeuvred themselves into management positions through manipulative tactics, often sidelining more qualified internal candidates. This has fostered a toxic environment rife with internal politics and backstabbing. Additionally, the company’s once-competitive benefits package has been significantly reduced as part of cost-cutting measures. The commission scheme, which used to be a key incentive, has been altered to make earning commissions nearly impossible. The Human Resources department further exacerbates the situation by employing gaslighting tactics and displaying extreme rudeness towards employees, adding to the overall dissatisfaction. Training programs are inadequate, leaving employees poorly prepared and unsupported. Management frequently prioritises vendor interests over staff, further eroding morale. The work culture is marked by a lack of transparency and frequent favoritism, making it difficult to trust colleagues and management. Despite some potential in the company’s services, the overall work environment is unprofessional and detrimental to personal and professional growth. I would strongly advise against joining TD if you value a fair, structured, and supportive workplace.
