Pros

We are surrounded by fantastic people that are intelligent and dedicated employees. Experts in their field that work hard to get things done and to provide the best possible product to customers. Employees have a high drive to not fail which is good but also is a con

Cons

Employees are loaded with self-service HR, IT, procurement tasks which take lots of time to achieve. Syngenta tried to unify services as part of an integrated strategy but the result is that the remaining support specialists are spread too thin, have minimal knowledge on how to assist specific needs. The workforce spends hours trying to figure out how to do any support question. Syngenta spends countless hours trying new initiatives, audits and quality reporting and not enough time being innovative; too many people need to be consulted for any decision.

Beautiful Office not so Beautiful Work Experience

Pros

The people that work at Syngenta are, for the most part, very pleasant and professional. They care about doing a good job and work very hard to achieve all of the goals they are given.

Cons

Employees are expected to work on large projects as well as their "day jobs". IT staff including Business Analysts have been outsourced and the business experts wind up doing the job of the Business Analyst because knowledge transfer has not happened. Key people are continually the "go to" employees for all of this type of work.
