Pros
Inspiring former CEO Pays well Training program English speaking
Cons
No career development plan No inclusion and diversity for foreign workers More opportunities for local Dutch people No gender balance
Advice to Management
Talk the talk and walk the walk. If you promise inclusion and diversity, make sure that it’s being implemented throughout the company, not only at Board Level. Remove the structural problem that you have. If you want to be a company or tomorrow, why do you keep older people in so many positions.
No inclusion and diversity for foreign workers

Pros
Good benefit. Good work-life balance. Reputable name.
Cons
Inclusion and diversity are only on MT level, the rest of the organization is still Dutch. Claimed to focus on Innovation, but there’s very little innovation takes place. Big and slow. Career development is limited if you are not Dutch or you don’t play golf, unless you are recruited at executive level. Politics and nepotism at its best.

Pros
Lots of diversity in products, always something new to learn... Salary is within market.
Cons
Frequent change over in executive leadership, on their THIRD President in as many years. Lots of politics at the top, skill and talent do not match job titles at all. Operations frequently blamed for the inadequacies of the innovation group and the lack of talent/ability to develop a product. Products that are not ready for commercialization frequently pushed onto manufacturing, results in high scrap/cost/low yields. Large layoff recently, ZERO culture, there is nothing worth working for here... Feels like they're setting up to sell the division...
Advice to Management
Look up stream, the innovation/R&D group is NOT talented and incapable of delivering robust processes. Stop trying to grow while ignoring the fact that your 'bread and butter' business is crumbling due to age. Hire and promote people with talent, stop hiring your friends to be executives who have no business at their current career levels. Bring back some culture and balance - its become a prison.
