Pros

Great benefits and ok pay

Cons

Management sound like politicians. They make it sound like you have the best job in the world. They over promised everything to get quality people hired then extremely under deliver.

Leadership a very large issue at Danone

Pros

Good people across the organisation, a thriving bottom line, flexible work environment, and a company on a mission that is worth believing in and you can actually see in action globally. Good technology and a comfortable environment to work in.

Cons

Complete lack of strong senior executive leadership, and extremely incompetent leadership at executive level below that. A controlling, transactional management style prevails. The lack of professionalism and discretion at management level can be quite shocking at times, and seems to be rewarded with promotion in spite of an obvious inability to retain good talent as a result. Leadership at the company level take work and content from employees and present it upward, essentially using employees like machines or apparatus to get things done. The values, on paper, are wonderful but they are least in evidence the higher up you go in the organisation in Australia.

WhiteWave intergration has been challenging

Pros

Exciting products with lots of growth potential Incredible benefits (vacation, compensation) Constant change, lots of flexibility

Cons

The integration with WW has been really hard. People put into positions they weren't ready for, uneven workloads, impossible workloads, huge differences in compensation and benefits. Other cons - to advance you must be willing to relocate and probably to NY. It is a young organization. Minimal training as most employees start at larger CPG companies first. Lotus Notes. So much busy work - especially for the sales people.
