Pros

Great colleagues, good team leads

Cons

Company has become entirely profit over people. Everything follows a two step approach: Make it simple -> Send to cheaper countries A few thousand people lost their jobs over the last few years (due to bad decisions of the Board and selling/externalizing part of the company). They use the excuse of having low stockprice (due to the Monsanto acquisition fiasco) and "cost contingency", while the board keep getting fat bonusses and payouts. But hey don't mind that, while merit increases have been stopped entirely for the majority of the company (and by majority I mean the people actually doing the work) except for inflation adjustments... (because mid/higher managers get whatever they want either way) and the last year workload workload discussions popped up every company meeting while basically no action is taken by management. Then yeah don't be surprised you get a bad rating.
