      Thank you for your reply! We are very proud of every brand and every Danoner. We do our best to empower employees every day and initiatives like granting shares of Danone and consulting company goals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_eKiZMAyy4) are great examples of our commitment to this. We are sorry to read that you have experienced micromanagement at Danone.

      Pros

      Supportive and great coworkers Mistakes are forgiven and there is opportunity to be mentored. Purpose driven

      Cons

      Marketing teams at both global and regional levels are extremely weak. Little to no support in terms of marketing strategy, positioning and guidelines. If you come from an FMCG with established marketing practices and ways of working, this place will frustrate you. Great brands but with no strong direction and follow through from global, things get lost along the way. Most initiatives are local led hence domestic teams are overloaded. Innovation is weak. Compensation is not on par. HR does a poor job of on-boarding, happens once every quarter. If you miss it when you join, be prepared to be lost for the next few months. Career development is slow and non existent. Speed at which you are promoted will depend heavily on whether you are French.

      First of all, thanks a lot for your honest feedback! As a global and big company we are aware of the complexity of our processes and communication lines. We work every day to be as efficient and transparent as possible while including all needed stakeholder in decision making. We acknowledge that we didn’t find the perfect balance yet, although we are aiming this every day. I am also sorry to hear that you experienced a lack of proper onboarding when you started working at Danone. We agree that a proper onboarding is key to feel included and comfortable in your job. In all countries and local businesses, the onboarding process is different and in many countries it is a priority on the agenda to improve it, thanks to feedback we receive. Thank you for taking your time for this valuable insight. We wish you all the best in the future!
