Pros

very people development focused strong line management great company culture very international, particularly in IT part of it possibility to move countries

Cons

too afraid to really innovate - all step-changes at times too siloed - different business not always sharing best practices or talent used to be controlled too tightly by the family (governance questions), but this has improved since current CEO has joined

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Open environment. No offices. Allows to bring your dog to work everyday. Casual dress code.

Cons

Very political. Technical decisions made by non-technical associates. Food microbiologists are not valued or heard. Responses to emails or requests is dependent on person's title (upper management don't reply to lower level associates). Upper management is arrogant, political, and disrespectful. HR and managers don't take actions when needed, even when associates are harassing others. Company allows some associates to be complainers and abuse the system. Horrible upper management and HR (P&O) associates who aren't trained on how to lead.
