Family conglomerate lacks strategic direction - Managing Director ContiGroup Employee Review

- Great opportunity for entrepreneurial people to grow and develop quickly - A lot of effort by leaders over the past few years to refine the company's purpose, strategy, and culture - Global, best-in-class network of relationships in the food and ag. sector

- Less training or apprenticeship than you might get at a larger company

Given the lack of a strategy or future for this company, individuals may be able to run with their own projects if they either take the approach of asking for forgiveness rather than permission, or somehow get the support of senior management. Great for those who push for what they want.

Homogenous office where attempts to define strategy are lacking. Senior management is not particularly strong as managers, much less middle manager. Without at serious pivot, not clear this company will survive another decade.
