Pros

Relatively good pay. Mostly very collegial approach in communication with other functions. Safety is taken rather seriously.

Cons

Global sourcing team is ruled at pure dictatorshiplike basis. No critical thinking will be tolerated, intimidation is the only management tactics known. To be promoted/ thought of by the leadership team you need to be white US based male between 30 and 50, preferably a gun freak, as shooting will be a part of the so called team events. Diversity? Wrong message here... Prior to COVID19 no home office possible. All talks on creativity, thinking out of the box and strategic supplier relationships always end in a "go get asap savings, no matter what" just a month or two later. Literally the same situation every single second half of the year for the last 7 years. On top of that you will be asked to show permanent appreciation for consultants assaults to your intellect and cultural background. All of them pleading the FMMG way of purchasing, whereas this is nowhere close to H.B. Fuller reality.

Pros

Some interesting projects. Lots of change, global reach and decision based in Portugal. For portuguese standards the pay is quite good. Flexible time l, I could home office.

Cons

Office politics, if you not part of the right click you will not progress or will even be targeted. Some of the management is a joke and the business is not at its best, hasn't been for several years. Q3 and Q4 end up being savings time. It's nearly comical that year after year that spending is frozen on the latter part of the year. People are generally OK. I think the company would strike if the had a clew on the management salaries and specially the Finance team. The high salaries also mean that there are lots of people who want to leave but can't find an equal pay in the rest of the market.
