Pros

Visionary company, empathetic and a great place to grow and work if you willing to take the opportunity. Good work life balance below senior management. Worked there for nearly 10 years. Leverages it’s cultural diversity well (dominance of Dutch & French). Continues to evolve to genuinely serve the planet, its customers as well as its shareholders.

Cons

Does not always operate efficiently because of the differences between the divisions but this was improving. Sometimes hard for employees to distill what the vision means to their day to day and how they can help. Organization, project management and communication need to improve. Communication particularly poor and badly coordinated. Improving this is key to enabling buy in from entire organization.

Pros

Work-life balance exists and is generally respected. Bonuses can be good, depending on the year and leadership priorities. Strong, reputable brands that look impressive on a résumé. "Some" genuinely great people who work hard despite the environment.

Cons

No meritocracy whatsoever. Promotions and career growth are driven by favoritism, internal alliances, and visibility politics rather than performance or results. Advancement often feels like a popularity contest. “Core values” are largely performative. They are referenced often but ignored when inconvenient, especially at leadership levels. Questionable long-term strategy. Direction changes frequently, priorities shift without explanation, and long-term planning feels weak or reactive. Extremely bureaucratic. Simple decisions require excessive approvals, slowing execution and stifling innovation. Politics over performance. Success depends more on who you align with than what you deliver. If you're not "one of them" or if they don't want to continue paying you your value, they'll find ways to get rid of you. So choose wisely and research the role and team.
