"Mostly Apathetic"

Added 14 Oct 2013 by a current employee

After working for Eskom for three years, I learnt exactly how a company should not be run. Political power play, empire building and red tape are rife throughout the company. Money is wasted hand over fist in most departments. There are very few dynamic people in Eskom and those that are still driven in spite of working with apathetic colleagues do not get the credit they deserve.
Pros
- Lots of training and courses
Cons
- Lack of Strategic planning and buy in at the front end of projects leads to wasted time, money and effort
- Career opportunities

The worst management decisions ever made by any company that I know of. They have no idea what is happening on the floor. Pathetic, Carte Blanche should visit them.
