This is a company that is deep rooted in their principles

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I would have to say the overall company culture and for the most part the people that you work with

Cons

Like any large organization, the ability to maintain these principles as they continue to grow and also making sure that learning and development continue to play a big part in the overall organization

Five principles don't exist

Business Outlook

Pros

Free chocolate, very individualistic work style so you can shine if you talk loud and present well, no accountability for results, no depth so you will never be caught out :)

Cons

Culture is horrible - they tout those five principles all the time but no one believes in them. Manage your boss and his boss and you will grow No career development and no process, you are expected to make your own way Shifting standards for performance every year based on who you talk to No accountability for bad behavior for senior people

Leading global food manufacturer Above average pay/benefits Strong values/principles Egalitarian, great culture & working environment Strong brands Big supporter of sustainability Many learning & development opportunities Great, professional people

Cons

Open office working environment and punctuality bonus (or loose 10% of daily pay) may not appeal to everyone Performance development process needs to be simplified Too much emphasis on Gallup engagement scores Too much focus on what's politically right versus what's right for the business.
