Pros

You get a paycheck and that's it

Management treats employees like they are stupid. The good old boys club is very much alive there. Women and minorities beware.

Pros

Unparalleled knowledge of chemistry in all its forms, chemical engineering, materials science and chemical processing development. It is not uncommon for even small group to have over 100 years experience in there knowledge base. Great company culture, always looking to take new hires under the wing of a mentor and make them feel at home right way.

Cons

French ownership which makes all directors and above expats, creating language cultural and expectation gaps. Managements commitment to be "middle of the pack" in terms of resources but still demand a class leading output. Get ready for meetings.
