Pros

Empowerment culture Treat staff with respect

Cons

Large costs pressures in the previous 2 years has meant the company is no longer the great place it once was. Also there is an element of 'brown nosing' required

Used to be excellent but losing direction...

Pros

Work life balance is good. Collegues are hardworking and in general highly professional.

Cons

Zero career paths or progression laid out. Difficult to see the next steps, unless you are based in BENELUX or Oslo. Too many people in the middle managment trying to stamp their own influence and agenda, with no real thought to how it effects the workforce or relationship with the customer.

Thank you for taking the time to review us on Glassdoor. It is great to read that you find the work life balance to be good, and that you have fantastic colleagues. This is really important for Yara as an employer. When it comes to the career paths in Yara, we nurture a culture where the employees themselves are accountable and in control of their self-development. To support this, Yara is focused on building internal corporate development programs. In 2019 we also intend to launch Yara University, showing that we are committed to investing in the development of our employees.

Still a good company despite recent bad decisions

Pros

- good solid employer - good environment for new employees - finally seem to be on the right path

Cons

- a few years ago poor business decisions were made for which current employees are still paying the price for. Decisions that seemed ridiculous to most at the time! - older employees seem to be taken for granted and experience not recognised
