Vantaggi

Company values, if practiced correctly would be great. Benefits were good.

Svantaggi

Company does not uplift employees through training. Promises are made but never happens. Certain staff is favored to get training. Others are promised to train when employed but then never train them but expect them to do the work properly . Very top leadership is disloyal, untrustworthy,and a bully. There is a group that, if they dont like a certain person and feel threatened by that person, they will, with the help of their friends in HR, bully, victimize, terrorize and then frame that person and have them charged and dismissed unfairly. Only "highly visible" management is rewarded; however, no strategic transparency and stifling feedback means you'll never know if your activities are visible enough. Ground level is overlooked for their inputs. Senior people advise leaving to get proper compensation. When staff was striking for 3 months and the minimum staff came to work, did 5 peoples work, they were not compensated, but management, on the other side got R40 000 each bonus for keeping the ship afloat. What about the loyalty of ground level that did the physical work while managers sat in their offices? There is salary discrimination against women. Extra work is not rewarded. Despite record profits, there is continual cutbacks (like the cancellation of the end-of-year functions). Only certain staff getting christmas vouchers, and only certain staff having christmas dinners. Advice to Senior Management – No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Vantaggi

A name brand company is always nice to have on a resume, Employees are generally nice. They care about safety. They have a lot of "town halls" to give you updates about financials. They want internal employees to apply for jobs if they become available. Benefits are decent - they have the minimal to entice good employees.

Svantaggi

Four days in office, even if you were initially hired into the company as a 2 day remote employee. Office is loud and cold. There isn't even enough space but you must come into office to sit on the meetings on Teams. You will get between 0 and 3% raises and you will be told that there is not way to "exceed expectations" but you will be required to and will ambush you to create performance reviews. A giant issue is on it's way to Komatsu - all of their employees are retiring. They are all retiring right now and they are not training others to fill the roles and the next 5 years are going to be painful. Those retiring - they've seen the company go from an amazing company with pensions, extra time off, and extravagant Christmas parties to what they are today - greedy overlords with BYO food for a mid-day Christmas party lunch. It's unfortunate.
