Promotion Managers with know basic Knowledge

Communication and interior design coworker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Used to be one of the best place to work in but unfortunately things took turn after a new management.

Cons

Been a worst place to work at since new management took place and hiring managers with no basic knowledge and empathy. Worst Com In manager and only favoritism bring him to the position. A lot of great employee left since the new Comin manager and very poor self reflection, sad to leave a great team but my mental health is way more important then working under this poor management in IKEA Tebrau. Hope and wish great employee will get recognition and favoritism will stop being the main value in IKEA Tebrau as IKEA has great value to learn from.
