      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We care about our employees and are sorry to hear that you rate your work experience at Yara so low. 89% of our employees are proud to work for Yara (according to our employee engagement survey of May 2017 with more than 10.000 responses, i.e. 76%). Diversity & Inclusion is one of our priorities and indeed an area where we can still improve. However, the majority of Yara's Management team is new in their position (average time is around 1 year) and many have way to go to retirement (more than 15 years for more than half of them). Is also not exclusively Norwegian: Yves Bonte and Pierre Herben are Belgian and Lair Hanzen is Brazilian,

      Pros

      Yara is a large company with presence in more than 50 countries, has good values about people and responsibility and great opportunities of growth.

      Cons

      Not so innovative. By be larger, is very hard change some processes, for example: manage projects. Agile for example, is a Taboo yet.

      Thank you for your review! It always nice to hear how colleagues see the importance of our company values and that they feel Yara offers growth opportunities. As in many other big companies, it is also true that processes may take some time to change, given the impact they may have globally :-)
