Rhipe Reviews

Management was a joke. They would promise you the world and give excuses to cover up their own bullcrap when it was time to deliver. Yearly review processes were not consistent and just a bunch of useless paperwork. Lack of respect for subordinates. They were always passing passive aggressive ageist and sexist remarks . Unprofessional company outings. Work place was not ergonomic friendly. HR hire orientation was company oriented and not employee oriented (this goes to tell you a lot about how well they care about their employees). Perks were not consistent, some people would get transportation and phone reimbursed while others would not. Every dime has to be fought for. The team started out with about 15 people and now it is down to 4. Doesn't know how to maintain loyal talent due to high egos and lack of leadership. Communication to HR was often cut off by management to cover their own behinds. Lack of trust between management and employees. Room to grow is limited due to the technology we use and sell. Company values are not followed even though they consistently preach it. All in all, they want believe that they are creating a tech start-up culture but they are just looking for an excuse to drink on the job.

This review only covers the operations in the Manila office and does not reflect entirely across other rhipe offices in the APAC REGION. - CGE Management is the worst management I have come across in my five 5 years career. They will pretend they care about employees' wellbeing, but it's all a long CON that they will pull to max out their investment in your above-market salary. - Senior Leadership only takes care of profit. Rightly so, this business unit (CGE) that I have been working for is their cash cow. They don't have a consistent earnings delivery with other business units in Manila. In our operations, if you ask for sick leave or unplanned leave, they will ask for ridiculous proof of absence such as "death certificate," "photos of the busted electrical post," local government unit certification for loss of power, or incident report from your ISP (right!) - This is just downright trust issues that have been driven by Senior Leaders in PH down to their Mid Level managers Mid-level managers are incompetent and were promoted not because of their merit but based on their relationship with the one up there. They can't save themselves from escalation calls without asking for Senior Support for help. They have serious trust issues with our output working from home. They cannot command respect from their subordinates because we know that they cannot do what we do. Our back-office support is just downright incompetent as well. From HR to IT, there was even an incident that resulted in a serious client security breach with one of our colleagues because our IT and the SLT up there has forced our colleague to use his own machine without applying the client security standards. Now that they were purchased by another player in the industry, this new player is only after this rhipe cash cow. Hopefully, they fix all of the anomalies of CGE including the rampant culture of fraud internally. Yes, that's right, the fraud here is so rampant that our managers don't bat an eye because that's what keeps them afloat.
