Pros

Danone give me good work-life balance so I can focus on family. It is easy to get the bonus (CODI team keeps very low OGSM for themselves).

Cons

There is new changes every day because the entire leadershp team is so indecisive. To avoid conflict, no one speaks or decides or raises concern. This is why so many issues in market.

Pros

Easy going and close to MTR

Cons

This is the first company I have worked where my team lead had no idea what to do. Every day there are so many meetings but nothing actionable comes out nor anything actionable is planned. If by any chance anything gets planned it is changed by the big boss! My immediate manager and her manager cannot do anything unless the big boss approves it. Why does the big boss who's role os to run the company wants to approve my manager's day to day task? I have no idea. There's so much micro management that it is impossible to do anything at all and if you are able to do something and think you will be appreciated it is the exact opposite because it is labelled against you and you are pressured not to do anything by your own. During my short stay I realised that what the leadership and the big boss says is not what is practiced. Too much gossip and back biting. Too much false assumption and acquisition, if you don't participate in the gossips then you are the gossip :( Not a good company culture.

Pros

1) Great benefits for Europeans. The company will move you to different parts of the world. 2) No pressure for performance. No matter how bad you perform, it does not matter. Everything changes all the time, so it is all forgotten. I interned with Unilever - its very ambitious, your legacy of success matters. You can work for 30-40 years and retire at Danone without thinking about your performance or success.

Cons

Trying to do cost cutting to reduce our free benefits.
