Pros

Engaging culture and vision. Good people and good products that it’s easy to feel excited about.

Cons

Very poor HR employment practises and many senior managers that are good technicians not leaders. Lack of processes and systems which are holding it back in being competitive.

Danone Response

We are happy to hear that Danone’s culture is close to your heart. Our vision, One Planet. One Health, drives our actions every day. Thank you for sharing that it is attractive and meaningful to you, too. Thank you for your feedback. First of all, we regret that you had a negative experience at Danone. For us, the "how" matters as much as the "what". Our values are the beliefs we hold internally and our leadership values, CODES, are how we demonstrate and bring these values to life. As a company, we strive to guide our employees and managers to lead according these 5 values: Creates, Opens, Drives, Empowers and Self-aware. As this wasn’t the case in your experience, we will inform local HR, so act upon your feedback.
