Pros

Greatly enjoyed my time working at Syngenta. Very good people, and company states great policies about work/life balance and development/promotion. Has stated focus on increasing diversity.

Cons

Unfortunately it doesn't quite deliver ... everyone is salaried so most work more than prescribed hours, and development/promotion feels very political. Diversity definitely needs work.

Cons

It may be difficult to work with people who speak a lot of different languages, but English is the default and it's not a problem
