Pros

Pay and Benefits are OK if you are in a top position. Easy market.

Cons

Hovione is held back by heavy internal politics and slow, bureaucratic decision‑making. There’s a lot of talk about innovation, but very little real investment to support it. Much of the communication feels like smoke and mirrors, with big promises and minimal follow‑through. The potential is there, but the culture and lack of meaningful investment make it hard to see progress.

Pros

Safety, quality and customer needs. Strong technical expertise In my experience, factory HR is usually administrative and distant. Here, HR is close to people, more human and understands what’s going on.

Cons

High level of demand and operational complexity, which can sometimes feel overwhelming
