Pros

Innovative multi national company, with a big pipeline of new products. Flexible working conditions with room for development and exploration of new ideas

Cons

Unhealthy environment with continued pressure and unrealistic targets. No loyalty towards employees and very little understanding of what's going on at the front line. Yet management always know better

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to provide a review. It’s unfortunate to hear that you feel that the set goals are not realistic. This would be a very good point to discuss within your branch and with your managers. We do think a good and realistic focus is important, but we also want to aim for a very high goal of course. For the atmosphere, as well as for the effectiveness in which we innovate. We are glad to hear that you like the international character of our company and the products we produce and that you do get to have flexible working conditions.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
