      Pros

      Syngenta is filled with highly professional, highly capable people but is at the same time a very relaxed atmosphere. The internal politics is minimal and one rarely feels that they are in an unhealthy competition with others.

      Cons

      There tends to be a focus on the near term, often to the detriment of long term thinking. In certain areas (lower to middle management, especially), the company is under-resourced, so there simply isn't time to think strategically. There is also a drive toward more open office environments, which is often distracting and restricts employees' abilities to think and plan versus simply work on the current tactical issues.

      Short term focus seems to be the only strategy

      Pros

      International company with great opportunities to change roles regularly and build a broad knowledge. Exciting and successful products, including pipeline.

      Cons

      The management is currently focused on achieving too ambitious quarterly results, and forgets about quality and longer term vision. For instance they are letting 600 employees go in Switzerland, including high potential people and key non senior jobs. Senior Management has been completely spared the pain.
