      Pros

      Syngenta was a great company to work with. Excellent professional people and great spirit to create the future of the company to bring plant potential to live. Great options to work in different business areas and functions.

      Cons

      Currently disconnect of top management with the people. Focus on operational short term financial results. Huge pressure on budget, while the business should grow. Constant re-organisation do not allow to focus on the products and customer offers

      Pros

      Laid back culture, not very ambitious in goals or target setting. Have excuses about weather, government regulations etc. to justify shortfalls in goals.

      Cons

      Resistance in trying new ways of doing things. No strategic focus and very non-employee focused. Management focused primarily on cost and not on growth.

      KNOWLEDGE "EXTRACTION"

      Pros

      The scientists are top-notch in their field - great work with.

      Cons

      R&D upper management are ruthless, heartless at trying to minimize R&D costs. Instead of valuing knowledge transfer (either from new hires or between functions), all they are concerned about is their 'bottom-line' profitability for the shareholders, and when hard times hit (i.e., low sales, low profitability), they cut R&D spend by eliminating jobs, hence instead of knowledge transfer, they engage in "knowledge extraction", where they take your contributions for a while, and then when it's convenient for them, they kick you out into the street. Don't expect to have a job for more than about 5-7 years there (unless you are a foreign national).
