Pros

Yara used to be an excellent place where people are openminded and collaborative. I met a lot of good people here. Good benefits with 28 days leave despite below market rate pay.

Cons

Recent years hired a lot of old school management people, who doesn’t do anything besides bringing in their whole kampung of “management ppl” in. Toxic culture in some managers highlighted but swept under the carpet, causing many good people to leave. The new management is unempathetic and treats people like disposables. Some managers are even verbally abusive with unethical practices conducted. People who asks or challenges perspectives are punished. People are staying on only because the market is bad. But morale is extremely low, especially in the digital/product teams. Growth is slow - unless you’re a “management” person. Rules can be bent for you in that case.

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.
