Pros

I have been at Essity for quite a while now, the management team is really good give you opportunity to challenge your colleagues and themselves. The company has a strong Health and Safety Policy and Culture, where the safety of its employees is top priority. Through Covid times the company is being really supportive towards to its employees, providing all the measures to keep us safe around the sites.

Cons

It can be challenge but quite enjoyable for who does not fear a challenge. When you start to work in there you will see a big culture difference from one place to the other.
