Business Outlook
Pros
Global company that offers growth opportunities if you manage to survive the cuts. Great work-life balance. Strong brands and a lot of potential for growth.
Cons
Talent is scarce within AkzoNobel. I often feel like the smartest person in the room. Compensation is reasonable but HR is trying to lower salary costs by lowering job grades. Reorganisations are quite frequent and lack a bigger picture/long term strategy. Management/stock listed companies operate on short term goals only and as a result leave a lot of opportunities unfulfilled.
