Pros

Yara is one of the world's leading fertilizer companies and is #1 in nitrates. The relentless focus on safety is best-in-class.

Cons

Keeping a low profile locally due to the nature of some of their products, especially highly explosive ammonium nitrate.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, decent work/life balance (depends on your role), established and well regarded products.

Cons

They hire excellent people on the ground, but DEI hires in C-suite managmeent are bad. Toxic, narcissistic "leaders" are promoted based on gender instead of aptitude, and cancerous individuals are slow to be removed because of the emphasis on DEI. Yara used to be and could be a great place to work again, but they need to get rid of the problem people to get there.
