Pros

Owners are super humble and very down to earth. Good work life balance.

Cons

Management in the Singapore regional office is horrible, especially HR, employed people based on who they like and not what they can contribute.

Pros

Barilla has a very friendly work environment, plenty of nice & professional people. The business itself and the Categories the company works in, offer great opportunity for business growth. the company has a very challenging growth plan and it is in rapid expansion.

Cons

Barilla offers limited career opportunities, although the company presence is worldwide, there are only few operative office and branches all around the world. key position are often occupied by old-fashion italian manager, strongly holding their position in HQ. Salary level is average: when joining the company you can get great deals, but once inside there is not a clear salary review policy and in any case we are talking of ridiculous salary growth. Employes on the other side are quite protected and normally the base salary is high, while STI or extra bonus remains on the low side. it is an extremely bureaucratic and rigid company, Italy-centric, with high resistance to change

Becoming worse with new management

Pros

Previously, employees look forward to flexibility, stability and colleagues are great. Great place to work because its a "people" company.

Cons

With the new CEO and the current new local management taking over, things have gone worse. So many cliques in the office that is causing all the toxicity in the office. Suddenly there are so many layoff globally.
