Pros

I used to think the values and purpose were great, but they are actually just a cynical marketing message, and maximising profit drives everything Opportunities to work with some well known brands, advise potential employees to get the experience and get out, there is no loyalty for anyone but self at Danone

Cons

Expectation for people to effectively work 2 + jobs for the salary of 1 GMs are weak and only driven by achieving their own numbers to achieve their massive personal bonuses Pumping billions of plastic water bottles, yogurt pots into the environment but refusing to contribute their financial fair share to create better U.K. and global systems Senior people have too much power to use the company’s money to drive their own personal agendas - not enough checks and balances in place Very little concern for the mental health of Danone employees. Again - great marketing messages and a huge internal industry to get employer recognition but the money spent on awards would be better spent on genuinely delivering quality services and support their people Some of the U.K. directors have too much power and the executive board in Paris seem oblivious to this, yet ask any senior person in the U.K. behind closed doors and the majority will agree

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.

Great room to grow and develop. Continually evolving company that offers new experiences. I love the culture and high growth attitude. This is a great company.

Cons

work life balance. Some on boarding is sink or swim mentality.
