Good company to work for

Sales representative

Business Outlook

Pros

Good management in place; they have a plan and are focusing on the customer again. Reps are given autonomy to run their territories.

Cons

Still going through some restructuring, so job security may not be what you'd like. Pay stagnated for a while while restructuring has taken place.

Akzo Nobel: An OK place to work.

Anonymous employee

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

The amount of work was plentiful. The salary was OK. The benefits were exceptional. The management was supportive but they were over bearing.

Cons

Priorities changed constantly, so it was difficult to maintain a steady pace on a project. I felt that upper management had a master plan to influence middle management to berate employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

They have a great benefits package. They have lots of tools in place to help you succeed. They are the largest Coating and Chemical Company in the world.

Cons

The leaders of the company do massive emailing to everyone in the company and never get out in the field. It would be more beneficial to get from behind the desk and out into the field. It was formerly known as ICI and they are trying to rebrand with no advertising. This is hard to do without advertising.
