Failing Company!

Pros

Akzo Nobel used to be a great company ten years ago and had a lot of talented employees. Those employees are 70% gone and the ones that are still there are just waiting on their severance packages.. Comfortable working office environment.

Cons

Every year the company downsizes, a growing company does not get rid of their sales people, close their branches, outsource departments and lies to their employees. Akzo Nobel does all of this and does not blink!!

Cons

Overall business performance is falling behind competitors. Not very focusing on personal development of on-job employees.
