Fake Company Collecting Your Data to Spam and Identity thieves - Marketing Specialist Oliv Employee Review

-good website -good marketing -in general a good business idea

When you look at Oliv’s website and marketing, you might think this is an incredible company and they are empowering the youth in the Middle East as well as the local population – this sounds incredible! A job with a purpose! You could help young candidates to get fantastic internships and you would have created these opportunities. That’s what a lot of employees at Oliv thought and it’s the lie that management tells you. My recommendation: don’t fall for the marketing trap – it’s such a negative place to work. Why? The management: - CEO has no idea how to lead a company but pretends to. -people are not valued – zero recognition of good work, just a push to now ‘do even more’ -students/candidates are not valued -atmosphere of fear and terror, staff afraid to laugh or have fun -poor salaries compared to same industry -work hard but do not expect to be thanked or rewarded, expect to be called into an office and talk about how you can work even harder (no compensation for extra hours obviously) -Oliv claims to be experts for Emiratisation – challenge them and find out how many placements they have actually done -support staff is overworked and undervalued -Oliv mainly hires women and likes to keep them small instead of empowering them, no support for working mothers -worst health insurance you can think of. Obviously the cheapest you can find in UAE -you will have to pay for work-related expenses and get them back once per month, with easily leads to AED2000 per month that you have to cash out Just spare yourself this poor experience and find a real company, not one that has trouble paying the little salary they offer.

Company had a lot smart, passionate and capable people. Unfortunately, in less than one year, company went from 22 to only 4 employees due to a very poor management. Higher management has no leadership skills and is ego driven. Portraying fake success in public is most important.

Toxic environment, personal relationships between higher management and employees which led to obvious favorable treatments , lack of any leadership vision and ability from the CEO. The whole purpose and the mission of the company which stands to be there for the youth, was never advocated internally. Employees were encouraged to be profit oriented even when it harms the mission and the values.
