Pros

Great place to work. Great opportunities and hard work is always rewarded. A company that really values its people and principles.

Cons

Needs to increase our hiring strategy to better embrace diversity. Current situation with a hostile takeover bid a worry, however very confident that the board and senior management will win through.

Pros

Swiss company with a high company governance profile. Products with extremely high technical quality. Decentralized management helps the company to have a faster decision model.

Cons

The company is in a change management process based on the possibility of being acquired by Saint Gobain (discussions ongoing in Switzerland Court). Besides this, the current economy environment in Brazil generates higher stress in local operations due to a lower sales volume and a low profitability.

Thank you for your feedback. As you mentioned we adopt a decentralized management structure, which we feel empowers local management teams to make strategic decisions based on their local markets. The overall goal of all of our Sika subsidiaries is to achieve the targets set out in our Strategy 2018, whilst being able to quickly adapt to the local environment. We continue to invest in the Latin America region and during the last financial year we saw a growth of 9.5%. Thank you to you and all of your colleagues who helped to make this possible.

Pros

There was no pros to mention, maybe the location in Zurich. It is rare that a chemical company is located in such a nice area.

Cons

Bad management, lazy employees Only loud-mouths and those who are politically well linked get promoted. Very stingy employer!
