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.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, decent work/life balance (depends on your role), established and well regarded products.

Cons

They hire excellent people on the ground, but DEI hires in C-suite managmeent are bad. Toxic, narcissistic "leaders" are promoted based on gender instead of aptitude, and cancerous individuals are slow to be removed because of the emphasis on DEI. Yara used to be and could be a great place to work again, but they need to get rid of the problem people to get there.
