Pluspunten

Lots of leave, good work life balance

Minpunten

1) Subpar and toxic middle management. E.g. a particular line manager was severely ability-challenged in terms of work, passing off her employees' work as her own and cutting them off from the next level(s) of management etc. She also launched surprise terminations on her employees without written reason, laughing in their faces during the termination meetings which she orchestrated. The fact that such actions were tolerated by HR and management is a problem itself. 2) Unethical and lacking in transparency over termination process, if there is any in place. Apart from the regional HR and management keeping mum about these issues, the Ethics Dept at the Global office, though alerted, did not conduct a thorough investigation i.e. did not interview affected colleagues. 3) Culture is superficially understood and hypocritically executed, paying lip service to the "No Retaliation" policy to ground feedback. 4) Little progression observed for locals. Top positions at regional (Asia and Africa) office in Singapore occupied by mostly non locals and non Asians. 5) Low efficiency and productivity, lots of waste in terms of spending. All in all, a major red flag for any potential employee - Business doesn't look well-managed regionally, and anyone can be terminated without warning or reason, whether you are on probation, or in a contract or permanent position.

Pluspunten

Competitive pay and benefits, decent work/life balance (depends on your role), established and well regarded products.

Minpunten

They hire excellent people on the ground, but DEI hires in C-suite managmeent are bad. Toxic, narcissistic "leaders" are promoted based on gender instead of aptitude, and cancerous individuals are slow to be removed because of the emphasis on DEI. Yara used to be and could be a great place to work again, but they need to get rid of the problem people to get there.
