Pros

It is a growing company in a dynamic industry. Recent merger of seeds companies and restructuring makes for a lot of opportunity . International company with employee from all over the world at the corporate office. Will provide resources for training and development. Strong global senior management.

Cons

Corporate strategy isn't communicated effectively to staff. Lots of work required, without a lot of recognition. Often staff would work long hours. Recent merger of seed companies makes for a dynamic working environment, but leads to disorganization. Restructuring has creating some stress among staff and this has impacted the moral of the organization.

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.
