Pros

Good benefits and time off policies.

Cons

Looking for a promotion? Good luck. Moving up in the corporate world of Syngenta is nearly never heard of. Also beware of layoffs and other consequences of big money management. Have a track record of letting the good people go and promoting the worthless. If you have an in with a manager, you're good to go in a career with Syngenta.

Pros

Great work-life balance. Great opportunities to explore new areas. Lots of improvement opportunities which gives a lot of space to employees to explore areas of interest Leadership down to earth and approachable

Cons

Very diverse on low levels, when it comes to senior leadership it stops. Very long decision making process for not such huge company. The company too many forums, committees and teams because managers cannot take decisions. Long term goals are unrealistic which translates into short term goals also unrealistic which translates in mediocre behavior since "the goal was too high anyways"
