      Good work-life balance but conservative company.

      Pros

      Management is quite caring and effective. Employees are genuine and many enjoy what they do. Overall quite good work-life balance.

      Cons

      Male-dominated senior management, though perhaps typical of agriculture industry. Conservative culture, quite formal at times. Company undergoing a lot of change.

      Pros

      Syngenta has learned the trickle down effect on the bottom line of taking care of it's employees! I think this is their greatest strength. you never have to worry about getting sick or needing to go pick up a sick child from school. Syngenta takes work/life balance VERY seriously. they offer a very competitive benefits/salary package and you have tremendous opportunity to move up, sideways or diagonally. It's all up to you.

      Cons

      Pay not quite as good as other chemical industries (e.g. pharma) but very competitive for our industry. As with many large organizations, data sharing across the company could be improved. Because Syngenta takes people and family seriously, they are extremely reluctant to let people go, preferring instead to try to move people around until they find a "home" which can occasionally result in having people in roles that they shouldn't be in. This also results in senior level managers staying in their role too long and preventing fresh ideas from coming in.

      Pros

      Promotes rotation within the company, great investment in employees careers via technical and leadership classses

      Cons

      politically charged, no information sharing, disconnected, hard to determine who does what due to constant changes, poor communication of how we are getting from A to C, long hours with limited praise, third party vendor does not take responsibility for quality of work, no plan to bring third party up to expectations.
