    AI summary of recent reviews

    At Akzo Nobel, employees appreciate the learning opportunities for personal development and the supportive management. High potential employees are encouraged to advance their careers through good management programs across countries and functions.

    However, some potential challenges exist, such as a perceived high pace of change leading to confusion and inefficiency in work processes.

There are indications of potential organisational issues as well, such as a lack of effort to improve branding and sales, retaining underperforming staff, and secretaries playing an outsized role.

    Never work in this organisation as it is a terrible place to work
    The good thingsSalary and nice office deco. The rest is nothing I can think of.
    The challengesNo attempt to improve the overall branding and sales result in the market. Always following what other competitors are doing. Continue to retain those useless and old people and the company can never grow.
