Holcim reviews

No opportunity for advancement if you are not willing to move. Most plants are in isolated locations. The benefits that were considered among the top of the industry (pension plus 401K, good health insurance) were drastically changed as a result of the merger. The merger was handled poorly with many in management not knowing whether they still had a job more than 6 months after the official merge date. The integration of the two companies has been a struggle. Management is not transparent about the future with respect to changes in position, changes in benefits, elimination of bonuses, changes to salaries and classification, severance eligibility, etc. The confusion and frustration caused a pervasive culture of negativity in plant management.

Since 2012, the Company has drastically gone downhill with constant cost-cutting measures, benefits have been getting cut left and right. In 2015, Lafarge and Holcim merged to create LafargeHolcim. This have gone even further downhill since then. The merger has been incredibly mishandled, policies are still being figured out months after the mergers completion, and information has not been shared with employees. Morale is at an all time low
