Pros
I like Work-life balance. I also like Syngenta ESPP because company matches 50% of your annual contribution. With Syngenta stock price going up in past 2-3 years, this has returned good money. Other benefits like pension plan and 401K are also above average. Pension plans are unheard of nowadays. Also company matches certain % to employee contribution.
Cons
There are not enough opportunities for promotion. Several employees have been in same position for several years. Much recognition isnt given to educational qualifications. The base salary is lower than industry average (although compensated by other benefits like ESPP, pension, 401K). The company is making progress in communication, but still lags behind industry leaders.
