The Best products by far with excellent potential

Cons

To much internal issue bad service to the customers and customer should be first. Employing the wrong people and due to this they loose skilled people.

Pros

The people based at Felling are still a great bunch of people to be around, however these numbers are dwindling. Some benefits for working to Akzo but very few perks. Flexible working environment.

Cons

The company is on a mission to outsource as many of its functions as it possibly can, this has lead to invoicing, IT and HR systems that are well below the standards required for so called market leaders. The general feeling around the site is one of discontent, with many people feeling as if redundancy is not too far away as the company will no doubt be looking to make further cuts to increase their profit margins. If you aren't based in Holland then you generally will not get anywhere within the IT department, very little chance of career progression. Quite happy to hold people down and refuse them payrises for promotions etc.

Pros

Big company so potentially lots of opportunities

Cons

Very Dutch centric organization so progression limited unless you are Dutch. Increasingly chaotic management with limited control and different rules for management vs employees. Liable to change contract details without notice and totally untrustworthy.
