Pros

Yara has a strong company culture with a supportive and positive work environment. It offers a great work-life balance, competitive pay and benefits, and, in some areas, good opportunities for learning and international assignments.

Cons

Career development can be unclear, with limited advancement opportunities in some areas. Leadership practices vary widely—some teams feel like a one-man show or suffer from biased management. Workload can be heavy at times. Most concerning was the handling of the recent layoffs: a long, painful, and emotionally draining process stretched over many months, with vague and repeated promises of decisions 'in the coming weeks' that never came, creating unnecessary anxiety and uncertainty.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, decent work/life balance (depends on your role), established and well regarded products.

Cons

They hire excellent people on the ground, but DEI hires in C-suite managmeent are bad. Toxic, narcissistic "leaders" are promoted based on gender instead of aptitude, and cancerous individuals are slow to be removed because of the emphasis on DEI. Yara used to be and could be a great place to work again, but they need to get rid of the problem people to get there.
