      Thank you for your comments. Your view on the company’s leadership will be fed back and, while our own research tells us that the majority of employees have a more positive perspective, we recognise there is always room for improvement.

      Pros

      Global Company, lots of opportunities to interact with international people and offers good challenges. Benefits are average. Comp can be good when the business performs well, when it doesn't it wont be.

      Cons

      Management is very bureaucratic and although progress has been made, still feels like they aren't that in touch with what happens day to day. Leadership can be poor depending on which area you work with. Sometimes feels like it's more about who know than what you know which gets you to the top.

      Thank you for your review. As a trading company we have processes and controls to manage risk, which some may consider to be bureaucracy. We are sorry to hear your comments about leadership – encouragingly, our latest people survey revealed a 23% improvement in senior leaders’ rating for openness and approachability. The results from our global engagement survey can be reviewed on our web site.

      Pros

      It's a big company and you can have a good future prospect if you can get close to the right people to support you.

      Cons

      Always fear of getting fired or redundant (ED&F has a good reputation on this), backstabbing colleagues over for promotion and unfair managers, lots of office politics..

      Thank you for your review, which has been passed on to management. You are right that the company offers great career prospects and we have many people in senior positions who started at a junior level. We are sorry that your experience was not as it should have been. 'Meritocracy' is one of our stated core values and we are taking measures to ensure that everyone has a voice, is recognised for their contribution and has the opportunity to enjoy a long and fulfilling career.
