Poster Child for Unethical Company - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Brenntag

Remote work, decent pay, great team

Not always the best communication among different teams

Flexible/hybrid work options depending on the team. Some strong colleagues and supportive direct managers.

-Leadership decisions lack clear rationale: Many strategic and operational decisions feel disconnected from on-the-ground realities. Initiatives are frequently rolled out without proper planning or follow-through, creating confusion and rework. -Top-down culture with limited transparency: Communication around major decisions is often vague or inconsistent, leaving employees unclear on priorities and direction. -Internal politics over performance: Advancement and influence can depend more on alignment with leadership than on results or impact. This slows execution and discourages initiative. -Inconsistent recognition and growth opportunities: Performance management can feel constrained, with limited differentiation for top performers. Career progression is unclear and often slow. -Cost-driven decisions at the expense of people: Many choices appear focused on short-term financial outcomes rather than long-term employee development or operational effectiveness. Lack of cohesive strategy: Teams operate in silos with shifting priorities, making it difficult to execute effectively or build momentum.
