Toxic working environment and culture (SG) - Anonymous employee Legrand Employee Review

Management lacks patience in training new joiners and often assumes employees should already know everything from day one. Expectations are unclear, yet employees are still expected to meet them without proper guidance or support. Onboarding and knowledge transfer are poorly structured, and manager/director can be impatient and, at times, disrespectful. The culture reflects strong bureaucratic tendencies. Employees are expected to multitask excessively and consistently deliver beyond reasonable capacity (often 120%). Overtime until 7–8pm is considered normal for the team, and the director/manager openly expects this. However, managers provide little support and are quick to place blame when things do not go well. Recognition and appreciation are rare, even when employees perform well. Overall, the work environment feels toxic and biased, which negatively impacts morale, engagement, and long-term growth.
