Pros

I learned a lot and got to travel. Great HR team except for the new VP of HR. He did not have your back.

Cons

Bad leadership from the top down. Very inconsistent and corruption is the norm. False investigations where done to get rid of GREAT people to satisfy others agenda's.

Pros

Before the downturn, Cemex was a very aggressive company and that made it an exciting place to work. The company also had lots of great people in mid-level management in its corporate office as well as lots of fantastic folks out in the field.

Cons

Though Cemex became a large global player years ago, it is still very much a Mexican company (meaning it lacks the maturity and balance of most global players). It is still largely controlled by a few families in Monterrey (and occasionally as employees we'd have to deal with some cousin or nephew of the CEO of EVP who had a position of authority far beyond his merit). All of the top execs are men from Latin America or Spain. As such, Cemex suffers from a dearth of perspective and a surfeit of testosterone. Hence it took on far more risk than it could reasonably afford. There is also a "Cacique" (strongman) top-down approach in which the little people serve the big people. There are many problems with this approach not the least of which is that it greatly impedes communication.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, but we really appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention.
