Pros

No nonsensical people. Everyone is friendly. Senior managers and directors are all very approachable and human-centric. Projects in the Tech space are also genuinely exciting as the company takes its move into a modern technology-driven firm seriously.

Cons

Flip-flopping on a major workstream within days. A leaderless organisation. New CFO. The CEO will leave at the end of 2025, and there is no CHRO for an extended period already. Getting work done is really difficult. They haven't quite grasped how their 'operate globally, act locally' mantra translates into IT. I have been told that there is no culture of promotions in Brenntag. I leave this there....

Pros

Easy work, great co workers

Cons

Too many unnecessary office employees, and management. Driver facing cameras. Childish policies. A lot of brainstorming that mostly revolves around how to blame a driver or how to take money back out of drivers pockets in favor of paying people in the office whose jobs should be consolidated or replaced. They started paying more after Covid because their hand was forced, then the big minds got together and made new policies to take more than half of that money back from the driver and people who work overtime because clearly those people aren’t smart enough to figure that out and will just take it.
