Poor management style but good company
Pros
Well-being of employees seems to be of importance to senior management. Friendly teams. Easy going environment. Dublin office is comfortable and relaxing - very friendly and welcoming environment. Lots of career progression opportunities - you are encouraged to look at internal progression opportunities. Training and development in relation to career progression is a priority of senior management.
Cons
Overall the management culture of Danone seems to be supportive and flexible - however if your specific manager is not aligned with the open friendly and supportive nature and culture of Danone, then there is little done by senior management to change this. They seem open to listen to your concerns but do little to action them. Salary is below industry standard for same position. Little flexibility in regards to way of working. Systems are old and procedure documentation is non existent. Management can be vague when giving instruction. On boarding training very poor. Expectation to work outside normal working hours with no thanks. Communication between Irish office and UK office very poor - with little understanding from UK office of operations within Ireland.
