Syngenta Greenhouse

Greenhouse technician and assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The Greenhouse team, specifically Dawn McNamara's team, is wonderful to work with - along with Diverse crops. They're eager to teach and are very hands on with learning, and are super flexible when it comes to your interests. Syngenta pushes that you leave work at work, and you have a good home life.

Cons

Like any corporation, people are promoted that aren't the best for the position, while others are forgotten. Hard Work went unnoticed by higher ups, the greenhouse team was treated as pack mules a lot of the time, more than a few of the requests were unreasonable.

Pros

Multicultural environment No Pros other than this

Cons

In a week after joining you will realise that it was mistake to join this company. If you like Chamchegiri then you will Grow....Lot of politics nepotism in small things...Bosses are driven by what their chamchas think and not what actual fact is...NO Growth ...No learning....Purpose of setting up GDC is just to hire cheap labours. HR guys are not serious about employee issues.......STRONGLY AVOID IT...
