      Pros

      Office, facilities, process, location and good stakeholders.

      Weak and inexperienced leadership. People who find it very difficult to have difficult conversations. Unscrupulous people who create a hostile and divided work environment.

      Like working in a political party

      Manager (unspecified)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A big company with a lot of talented people, good salary and benefits and the ability to contribute on meaningful work that sets the agenda for global industry, agriculture and politics. For some departments you have the opportunity to travel, for others not, depending on your profession.

      Cons

      A conservative chemical company that is almost entirely run by white conservative Scandinavians in their 50's voting for the conservative party. Ironically the company spends a great deal of time on promoting its high values, efforts of inclusive culture, diversity and mental health focus. The truth is pretty much the opposite of all of these. This is a place with so much office politics it is quite challenging to stay motivated. Sharp elbows, backstabbing, prestige culture - all reinforced by a total lack of leadership at middle management level, Constant re-organizations in the company make many feel uneasy. This company values long processes above anything else. Not actual results. Do not believe values such as "asking bold questions" or "working together with mutual respect". Nobody cares about these in the actual company.
