"The work flexibility is great, but I didn't feel that the supervisor really care about me, only if the job was done"
"I worked at AkzoNobel for 3 years."
"Company is well versed in safety and operations, along with a strong BBS program, but they lack in caring for employees, making the workload on employees on off shift very hard to meet demands due to understaffing."
What do you like about working at AkzoNobel?
"AkzoNobel allowed me to explore a variety of positions and combine it with an international experience. I got to work with some great people across the world."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Understand that safety is extremely important. the company likes to do things the right way."
What don't you like about working at AkzoNobel?
"AkzoNobel is a great place if you know what you want. The career development onus is on you. Towards the end there was a disconnect between my new boss (I had 6 bosses in 6 years) and I wish we both handled things differently"
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Direct supervisors should be able to communicate the impact of their subordinates work on company values and bottom line. what are the gaols and how are we going to help achieve it. AkzoNobel is decentralized and therefore it reinvents the wheel quite a bit due to a lack of communication. Divisions and business units repeatedly do the game work without knowing that it has already been done."
