Pros

Well if you are Dutch the 54 days holiday/annum is a real bonus. Good safety culture. Good brands

Cons

Value engineering of products means that they are me to with the competition. The customers are beginning to see through the brand image and realising that the products are the same of worse than the competitors. All employees with product & customer experience have been made redundant. No customer service any more

Pros

Big Multinational. Has been more focused on its employees in the past

Cons

After many years in the company, I find myself having to say it is not somewhere I would recommend, unless it is as a short-term stepping stone. The company has a vision of being in the top 75th percentile Employer on GALLUP, With this target in mind, in last year’s survey we were challenged why we would not give a top score (5) against all the questions. But now they want to pay based on the average in the UK and have reduced Grade Values accordingly. In some cases this is a reduction of 20% (the higher performers are hit the hardest with this change). All the time saying that ‘Our People are our Strength’…

Cost cutting to profitability decimated a once proud company.

Pros

Opportunity to be purchased by a company that knows the business and wants to be in the business. The 401k is still competitive and the healthcare benefits are above average.

Cons

Poor work/ life balance and a myriad of other dysfunctions. It is sad to see a once great company come to such a whimpering, undignified, end.
