Behind the nice facade of a nice company from the outside, many problems lie at the core of many teams.
Many employees are not happy (long work hours & workload), not feeling safe to share their opinions to their (so-called) leaders, to grow, and also hierarchical.
Danone is way behind other companies in their culture, systems, and processes. Because of these manual systems and processes, many employees suffer to juggle many tasks and leave no rooms for their personal development. This becomes even more apparent to managers & directors.
As results, they do not have the basic leadership skills needed such receiving & giving feedback, prioritisation, teamwork, developing team's skills, going towards one goal, etc. Turnover is extremely high.
Promotions are through relationship rather than performance-based (favouritism).
Also surprising how the hiring & promotion criteria are very weak and subjective). With this, they need a stronger company culture & HR in place.
