Syngenta reviews

Managers who don't belong in management position but rather in the science field they studied in. Poor leadership and lack of equal treatment of employees.

Constant transition and reorganization, lacking clear Roles & Responsibilities making it hard to hold anyone accountable to basic tasks. Performance based off of whether people like you since accountability is so hard to measure. Information regarding key projects/processes is not readily provided and hard to come by. Leadership lacking and no clear strategy which drives the culture of ambiguity. Poor quality outsourcing is common in the company and makes many processes and functions difficult and poorly run. The people that own the relationships with outsourcing appear to not really own – they do what the outsourced provider says instead of managing the vendor. No one seems to know how anything gets done. On paper the values and culture of the organization look good but it's not a culture of empowerment or inclusion. Feels a lot like the 1950s. There are many high paid employees that do basic administrative work because of lack of empowerment.
