Pros

Benefits of a big company, very secure surroundings, highly professional colleagues around the globe, a lot of flexibility for white-collars

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, salaries are not on a level with competitors, dying field of business in that sense that some new success story (new Uruguay plant) always requires cutting off simultaneously somewhere else (shutting down a lot of plants/mill sites in Europe next decades)

Pros

Teams in North America are the hardest working individuals. They have incredible talent and are extremely supportive.

Cons

Every part of UPM is controlled and ran by management in Europe. This means that the teams in other regions are stifled, siloed, and become stagnant. This alienates innovation and process improvement, perpetuating an atmosphere where talent cannot be maintained or grow.
