Pros

Inclusive, Diverse and Dynamic - you feel part of something big, as its vision states: to help feed the world.

Cons

Fertilizers sector is a bit sexist, but Yara seems to be improving in this matter.

Yara's environment creates an atmosphere where you can discuss openly your ideas on improving practices and I feel opinions are listened to.

Some practices could be simplified to reduce admin work.

Pros

Flexible work from home policy. Free lunch every Wednesday and Friday. Pretty good benefits (22 days annual leave + 6 days personal care leave)

Cons

Incoherent management. Mid-level managers (i.e. the boss' boss) micromanaging, and don't listen to technical experts who know their stuff. Dysfunctional HR - no formal exit interview after resignation. Mis-hiring of discipline leads/senior positions. No peer review for data science projects. General perception of unfairness in compensation package distribution (expats earning considerably more than locals while having significantly less relevant experience, academic credentials and technical skills). Frequent use of profanity in a professional setting to a point where it can be considered very offensive.
