      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good experience, manufacturing environment/personnel involvement, exposure to IFRS reporting

      Cons

      Financial sector has micromanaging men that don't allow their direct reports to manage their own work to meet deadlines. They speak down to women. Global headquarters looks down on Americans.

      Disgusting Leadership and Management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good people, some of them have very good intentions, but those are the ones who are not listened

      Cons

      EAME leadership team is a complete nightmare. Management by fear, what matters is only to make the head of the EAME division happy, there is no vision neither strategy.

      Complete dissapointment! Please do not go there

      Road transportation coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Outstanding salary package State of the art office in the heart of Budapest Excellent reachability both by car and public transportation

      Cons

      I had the chance to breafly work together with some “so-called” experienced Givaudan professionals and some other external consultants in the last couple of weeks. The situation I had to face is absolutely dissapointing: the project guidance had been completely given to external consultants without any real life operational experience or seasoned Givaudan veterans from other continents with no clue what is happening in Europe .... and the most frightening fact is politics ... all the higher ranked managers are protecting their own proteges, internal friends or the status quo... When I had joined the company there was great emphasis on the values like courage, pioneer menthality, willingness to challenge ourselves and other’s decisions....but the things I had experienced are absolutely the oposite : the stream I had worked for is deeply infected with politics and corruption...the corrupt senior leaders immediately wipe out everyone who has a strong menthality in purpose of protecting their position... This place is a good lession for everyone who has any intention of learning how a corrupt and unprofessional stream works in a company with high external profile.
