Pros
There are no pros to working at MDBC.
Cons
There are no career development opportunities or continuing training for staff, ironic given that the organisation is providing CME/CPD programs for heath professionals. Senior management lacks knowledge and experience of managerial skills, leadership, understanding of basic project financials, quality assurance, basic soft skills (communication, digital aptitude and word processing). Management is constantly criticising employees and overloading them with work and expectations that they will deliver asap despite the tight timelines and lack of resources. Management treats their employees with contempt, no empathy, no motivation and no inspiration. There are no opportunities to provide feedback to management without fear of retribution! The toxic culture has been created by management to avoid dealing with problem, and thus continues creating a psychologically unsafe environment for employees. Everyday was like walking on eggshells, not knowing how management will treat you or what they would go into a rage about. Don't bother asking for support or help or clarification, management will accuse you of being 'difficult', 'whinging', that you are stupid or incapable of doing your job. I was witness to bullying, public shaming and verbal attacks from senior management to employees. It's easy for senior management to play the blame game rather than take accountability for it themselves. The organisations focus is their bottom-line it does not matter about making a difference for health professionals only the $$$. This is disappointing given the organisation likes to provide itself on its values of integrity and accountability. If health professionals were to meet senior management they would be appalled.
