Pros

It’s really hard to think of any Pros. Their self portrayed image is a facade, pull back the curtain and you realize it’s all a bunch of BS designed to make them look good on the surface.

Cons

Sibelco is a complete mess—arrogant leadership, poor communication, and absolutely no direction. They refuse to accept input from knowledgeable employees, instead relying on overpaid consultants who have little to no understanding of the U.S. business. Their lack of respect for employees from acquired companies is glaring. The so-called “integration” is nonexistent. Employees from acquired companies feel excluded, disconnected, and undervalued. Leadership seems to view the current team as disposable—use them, then discard them once the work is done. If you value yourself, your expertise, and your career growth, look elsewhere. Sibelco does not prioritize employee well-being, aspirations, or professional development. Even when input is sought, it’s ignored, making employees feel unheard and unimportant. The company appears to be heading toward a leadership structure dominated entirely by foreign executives, further alienating U.S. employees. I read the negative reviews before joining and thought they couldn’t possibly be accurate. Unfortunately, it’s worse than described. If you’re seeking a supportive, functional organization, avoid Sibelco at all costs. This is the place for those who enjoy being part of a disingenuous, dysfunctional company that puts employees last. Advice to Future Applicants: Take the reviews seriously—your career is worth more than this.

Pros

It's all just so wonderful. Leadership, especially that from Europe is just so great. They like to change their goals every other day and I think that's great for the employee.

Cons

None, just so so great.

Pros

They improved the benefits, but that doesn’t cover up for their gross incompetence. HR actively trying to get employees to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor, usually around when someone gets a raise or considered for a new position, seems shady right?

Cons

Absolutely in no way should anyone accept a job here, even in desperation. They are an absolute mess, confused, disorganized, not a clue about how to operate a business in the US. Even if you accept a job with them, it’s highly likely that you will be laid off in a matter of months or reorganized out which has happened multiple times in the last 2 years. It’s actually quite amazing that a company can be this incompetent. They don’t actually care about you, especially if you are an American. They layoff long tenured employees with little severance because you’re just a number. Sibelco bankrupted a US company before and appears they learned nothing. It would not surprise me to see bankruptcy in the near future or sell off of parts of the business to stay afloat. Clearly they learned nothing from the last time they were inept and bankrupted a US business. Their European leadership are way in over their heads. It’s actually comical how bad they have messed up in the US glass market, competitors are eating their lunch and they aren’t intelligent enough to compete back. You need to run from this place, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, not even my worst enemy.
