Pros

I've been in Solvay through some big changes. These have been a couple of challenging years. However, I've never felt alone and always supported. There has been (at least in my case) a very careful balance between autonomy and support. I've had time and space to grow and this is a reflection of the companies culture

Cons

Too many general meetings, and this is a change that needs to be reflected in the company's culture
