It is a Great Place to Work

Pros

Entrepreneurial spirit, opinion counts, strong principles, good compensation and benefits (although not as high as it was in the past),

Cons

Not for everyone - need to have a high tolerance for ambiguity, enjoy constant change, strive in less structured environment, be comfortable with collaboration and consensus as this is still the predominant way of working.

Five principles don't exist

Pros

Free chocolate, very individualistic work style so you can shine if you talk loud and present well, no accountability for results, no depth so you will never be caught out :)

Cons

Culture is horrible - they tout those five principles all the time but no one believes in them. Manage your boss and his boss and you will grow No career development and no process, you are expected to make your own way Shifting standards for performance every year based on who you talk to No accountability for bad behavior for senior people

Pros

Leading global food manufacturer Above average pay/benefits Strong values/principles Egalitarian, great culture & working environment Strong brands Big supporter of sustainability Many learning & development opportunities Great, professional people

Cons

Open office working environment and punctuality bonus (or loose 10% of daily pay) may not appeal to everyone Performance development process needs to be simplified Too much emphasis on Gallup engagement scores Too much focus on what's politically right versus what's right for the business.
