      Pros

      Innovation, customer orientation, digital, agile company

      Cons

      Political decisions with no objectivity, bad work environment in some areas, continuously org is being reestructured, lack of opportunities to grow, Geneve makes decisions with lack of information, to many VP’s and directors and a few people below hands on really performing. Philosophy of work based on micromanagement, no only in what you do but also in the way you execute. Room for improvement for HR team too far from understanding business needs and more focus on achieving their own results, kpi’s and processes.

      Pros

      Range of creative, scientific, business, supply chain and support jobs. Global experience and mobility opportunities (at mid to high level positions). Good health benefits compared to many other companies. Company is strong financially and growing financially (but opportunities are being filled by outside talent, not internally)

      Cons

      Pervasive clique-oriented culture and sink-or-swim for those not in a protected group, both which play key roles in advancement opportunities. Perception and network matters more than individual results. Inequitable distribution of heads to sites in dire need. Poor HR environment for quality employee support, growth, and development. Burnout becoming very pervasive, with company asking for more-and-more. IS systems are cumbersome and poorly designed...creative more inefficiency instead of solving efficiency issues.
