Pros
A great big company with various initiatives to drive and build company's reputation. Great place to learn about networking and the importance of it.
Cons
Toxic place . This company is definitely not walking the talk. It preaches a lot about diversity, inclusion, sustainability etc. but it is only doing for the sake of raising its reputation. P/S : if you see many initiatives done and posted online - those are people who want to create a mark for promotion , to demonstrate they are doing something and/or to win some awards. Whether they believe it - it is another question. Leadership is appalling and very political. You need to be able to flock in order to grow in this company. Networking is critical to success. You need to nail your first meeting with your senior management team in order to create a mark for success. Sadly they made quick judgement on you and your performance based on short interaction or incidence, and that becomes your track record for long time. They claimed they welcome speaking up and sharing views , but be very careful when presenting reality picture or facts, it will not turn well. While many companies have gone retrenchment due Covid , including Heineken but the retrenchment process could have been handled better. Many have gone through traumatic experiences and the company could have treated the leaving employees with much dignity. Overall, it is still a Dutch company . Diversity nor inclusion is just a lip service.
