UPM Raflatac Reviews

The US business is run by someone with the "Boss" mentality, He is not a leader and does not allow for open discussions or differing opinions. The manager in Finland talked a great game, but after hire, the lack of support and leadership was shocking.

--Ongoing mass layoffs have been occurring since September of 2024; disproportionately affecting employees over 40; they are bypassing performance mgmt. processes; HR has been criticized for making decisions based on limited data, which sometimes results in leadership appointments that don't align with company values or employee performance. --While UPM promotes a hybrid work culture, it seems to place more emphasis on physical office presence rather than actual results or outcomes. There is also a lack of clear metrics and internal alignment with the company’s broader business strategy, which makes it hard to track progress or hold teams accountable. For those who are politically savvy and able to navigate internal dynamics, UPM may offer opportunities for advancement, but for those who value transparency, fairness, and results-driven culture, it might be a challenging environment.
