Good place to work although organisational structure changes often

Pros

Large corporation with theoretically good opportunities for mobility Opinions are encouraged even if changes are implemented very slowly Teamwork is fostered and encouraged Good pay and benefits A fair amount of strategic decisions are made based on scientific evidence where applicable

Cons

Far too few HR employees per headcount. Distant and uninterested HR staff (I met my HR 'business partner' on my exit interview and she was not interested on why I was leaving, didn't even pretend to take notes). Performance reviews seldom if ever bottom up Subjective judgement from senior management weighs considerably sometimes (and in my experience may be biased by gender and nationality) Mid-level management does not follow through on commitments Presented plans and career paths are not followed Re-structuring happening constantly

Dear Employee, thank you very much for this feedback. It's great to read that you value our work environment which is sustainable, safe, healthy and vibrant! Great, that our learning and development opportunities are attractive and useful! Yet, we are aware of the fact that we are not the most process oriented company. However, it never should be the case that you had a feeling of disorganization. We continuously are looking for the right balance between freedom for creativity, agility and processes. Good that you see our efforts to improve. Thank you once again for this feedback.
