We are Glencore, one of the world’s largest globally diversified natural resource companies.
Founded in the 1970s as a trading company, we have grown to become a major producer and marketer of commodities - employing 140,000 people around the world. At the Headquarter in Baar, Zug we currently employ more than 1000 employees from over 70 different nationalities.
Our operations comprise around 150 mining and metallurgical sites, oil production assets and agricultural facilities. Using our sector knowledge and global supply base, we source and market commodities to industrial consumers who need them - such as steel-makers, vehicle manufacturers, power companies and processors of oil and food. In this way, we produce and market resources that play an essential role in modern life.
People are at the heart of our business. That’s why we prioritise safety at all our assets; why we seek to minimise our impacts on the environment and communities; and why we aim to attract employees who strive to be leaders in their field.
I have been working for the Glencore for about two years now and can say that the atmosphere is very positive. It is interesting and motivating to work in such a multicultural environment where openness and entrepreneurial spirit are lived every day.
I like the simplicity and effectiveness of the workflows and appreciate the fact that the company has given me a significant responsibility after only a short time. As a current employee, I can say that the company demands a lot from its employees, but also gives a lot back.
The company is a unique player in its field and you can feel that when you work for it.

The current working hours could be made more flexible.

This works well in the company
The company has a "drive" - it operates at a fast pace, but also gives you a lot of freedom to contribute ideas and implement them. I really appreciate working for a company as diverse as Glencore because it gives you an insight into global contexts. I experience the working atmosphere here as very good: helpful and open people from whom you can learn a lot.

With Glencore there are no function names, this can be somewhat confusing.
