The Good and the Bad

Pros

Arkema is a relatively large company with good benefits and competitive salary.

Cons

Working Environment is not good. Their Human Resources Department runs the company and has no understanding on how to deal with employees to promote a positive work environment. They do not promote teamwork and they tend to create internal friction. The R&D Department has too many voids and silos.

Pros

Decent salary, tuition reimbursement. Some very good people on the front lines.

Cons

Run by incompetent yes men. Corporate nepotism / good ol boy club in full effect. Friends and family of upper management will advance despite being highly unqualified. Will not advance unless you kiss major butt or are French. Morale is non-existant. Management unwilling to change with the times. High turnover. Meetings about meetings of meetings. Blaming and shaming employees because things can't get done, but will not hire enough people to do the jobs the correct way. Only care that everything looks good on paper.
