Pros

Good place for fresh grads. The scope of work is wide, and you might receive support for department projects if management likes you. Work conditions are good—only the maintenance department works outside, while the rest are in air-conditioned and always clean environments.

Cons

It’s called an international company, but it’s managed like a family business, especially at the senior level. Too many fat cats doing nothing while taking most of the salary budget and benefits. The career ladder is built to promote those favored by the GM. The GM won’t respect you unless he knows you don’t actually need the company and don't need him. Everyone says “the management decided,” when in reality, it’s just one man making all the decisions—the GM. The company has lost its R&D strength, and they don't have constants in the department to carry on the job. GM men (Production Managers, zero skilled people with big mouths and small sacks) only show up on the production floor when he’s there or when he asks for something. GM’s men are in every department, forming a closed circle that gets all company news and changes first, always acting like they’re above everyone else. Administrative management is weak and has no power over the GM’s men. There is no respect for employees—they’re constantly forced into OT just because they’re “getting paid.” The company has no real plan, and insiders can see it going downhill, but no one has the right to speak up. Every few months, there’s a new structure, a new plan, and a new batch of people in top positions.

Pros

Based on my experience as a recently departed employee at Racing Force, I've gathered insights about the overall work environment, highlighting both the positive aspects and the challenges faced by staff. Many employees appreciate the co-workers and teamwork among colleagues, creating a collaborative work environment. Certain leaders are seen as accessible and effective, creating a sense of trust and openness within the team.

Cons

Company Culture: Racing Force exhibits a deeply divided culture. While a few employees commend the supportive atmosphere, but a majority of others report significant issues with favoritism and nepotism. Many feel that promotions and opportunities are not merit-based, leading to resentment among those who feel overlooked despite their contributions. Reports of cliques among management and a lack of inclusivity further exacerbate this problem. Work-Life Balance: The work-life balance at Racing Force is contentious. Some employees appreciate the flexibility in their hours; however, many express feelings of being overworked and stretched thin. This imbalance often leads to stress and burnout, as employees feel compelled to meet high expectations without adequate support. The culture of long hours discourages taking necessary breaks, perpetuating a cycle of exhaustion. Salary Satisfaction: While the white-collar gets a way higher salaries and without reflecting tot their experience and merits, but the rest gets peanuts compared to them. This reflects widespread discontent. Many workers express that their salaries do not align with industry standards and feel undervalued for their hard work. Additionally, those in favored positions receive perks and bonuses that others do not, further highlighting organizational inequity. Benefits: While certain employees appreciate the healthcare options provided, many express disappointment that these benefits do not meet expectations for a company of Racing Force Bahrain's size. Reports of limited options for personal development or wellness programs are particularly concerning, given the company's high-stress environment. Job Stability: Employees frequently cite concerns about job stability due to high turnover rates and frequent layoffs. Many feel that staffing decisions are influenced more by favoritism than by performance, creating a sense of insecurity. This unstable environment leads to ongoing anxiety about job continuity, negatively affecting overall morale. Career Growth: Opportunities for advancement at Racing Force appear bleak. Employees frequently mention the lack of clear pathways for promotion, and those who do achieve advancement often credit it to connections rather than merit. This perception discourages talented staff from pursuing leadership roles and contributes to a culture of stagnation. Leadership Effectiveness: Employee sentiment regarding management is polarized. While some view leaders as approachable and effective, a significant portion criticizes micro management of top boss of Bahrain and the lack of his vision and poor decision-making that negatively impacts team dynamics. Many indicate that management often overlooks contributions from employees not aligned with their inner circles, leading to disengagement and low morale among those feeling marginalized.
