Millicom Reviews

Top global management does not have sufficient knowledge or experience for the role, maintaining an always reactive environment, constantly firefighting. Also, fierce political wars raging for the last 2 years have of late turned ugly, turning the work environment many times into a hostile one. Also, you will not learn anything new in Millicom, not from management, not from current practices, not from technology being applied there. Always behind, always firefighting. Remote work is severely discouraged, sitting your hours in the office where your boss can see you is strongly preferred. Last but not least, if you are an only English speaker you might be isolated in meetings as others switch languages and maintain the meeting in Spanish, despite the fact that everyone present speaks both languages.

In a few months of working in this place I can assure you that you will hate your boss. A major part of this will be his fault, since they are not at all interested in the happiness or motivation of the people who work here. Many bosses have never greeted or said good morning to anyone, even if you meet them in the hallway, you simply do not exist for them. Not all bosses are bad, only the vast majority. I would like a new role but here you can forget about learning anything new and grow, you are only buried in workload, putting out their fires. Millicom will not help you study anything, they will not allow you to attend any congress where you can bring something new. If you want to do it you must do it with your own money and your days off. Forget about studying or doing courses or a master's degree that occupies some part of your work day, the company is not interested in your professional growth and discourages you openly. This company wants you in your same place, quiet, working 10 hours a day, in a place where they can see you so that with your great work your boss can show off to his boss. You will be indifferent, transparent.
