Akzo Nobel Worldwide – “Nice company with good benefits but without challenge or independent thought”

Pros

Akzo has wonderful people at my location and the workday is laid back and not stressful. The location itself is pretty nice, and there are alot of little conveniences that go along with working here such as a reduced price for gym membership nearby and decent on site dining facilities.

Cons

The work is easy and not stressful to the point of it sometimes getting boring even when it is not repetitive. The repetitive parts are extremely boring and sometimes seem unnecessary.

Advice to Senior Management

Find ways to challenge employees and encourage original thought beyond requiring an "idea submission" and formula work.
