Pros

Excellent systems of work, great people and a healthy level of emotional intelligence across APAC - this was pre-acquisition by Graymont . CEO great at selling the Graymont vision

Cons

Watering down of robust systems of work as business changed to a One Graymont model, Exec management missed the opportunity to improve systems particularly in Safety, CEO not so inspiring when talking about safety. Some rigid thinking within Exec team, better for your Graymont career not to challenge this thinking

Pros

None at this time. This job sounds great at first, but is terrible at the end.

Cons

I would not recommend this company if you value transparency, flexibility, and a supportive work environment. While Graymont presents itself as flexible, that was not my experience. There was little to no accommodation for real family emergencies, which made balancing personal responsibilities extremely difficult. It was also made clear—directly and indirectly—that asking questions about your role or responsibilities was not encouraged. This created an environment where communication felt one-sided and employees were expected to simply comply rather than understand their work. There was no real sense of psychological safety. Speaking up, seeking clarification, or raising concerns didn’t feel welcomed, which can make day-to-day work stressful and isolating. If you’re looking for a workplace where expectations are rigid, communication is limited, and flexibility is more of a claim than a reality, then this role may suit you. Otherwise, it may not be the best fit.
