      Pros

      Nice bragging rights to say you are working at the largest chemical company in the world. The company is is very strong financially. If you take initiative you can deal with other parts of the world.

      Cons

      Forget about a career unless you are German. The current trend is the promotion of German females. The nest best thing is an American with a German last name. The Company is totally inflexible in every regard and this extends even to customer engagements.

      Pros

      The plant here is filled with experienced individuals who are happy to share their wealth of knowledge. Everyone also seems to understand the importance of a good work-life balance.

      Cons

      The large company structure and trying following all of the standards which exist can be intimidating. It also seems that technical roles are rewarded at a slower pace when compared with the business roles in the company.

      Pros

      The company offers new starters a good training program, organizes plenty of extra-curricular activities, and generally treats its employees well. There are multiple levels of advancement possible, with some possibility of cross transfer to other functional areas if there are specific matching skill sets.

      Cons

      Rather bureaucratic, large scale organization. While claiming to support work/life balance, increased globalization and a high pace of change put a lot of pressure on a lot of people, particularly mid level managers, to work long hours.
