Pros

If you are lucky enough to join the top management that gets LT bonuses, you earn a lot and the performance level needed is not too much

Cons

If you deviate at any respect from the majority (white male engineer that does not really want to change much how things are), do not expect much of career development. Diversity & inclusion do not in practice exist - instead, people try to explain black to white when you challenge the topic

Pros

Good pay and flexible on time off. Great benefits and retirement.

Cons

It is a paper manufacturer that makes paper for printing which is a tough and shrinking business.

Pros

Teams in North America are the hardest working individuals. They have incredible talent and are extremely supportive.

Cons

Every part of UPM is controlled and ran by management in Europe. This means that the teams in other regions are stifled, siloed, and become stagnant. This alienates innovation and process improvement, perpetuating an atmosphere where talent cannot be maintained or grow.
