      World leader in catalyst production

      Process engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Technically very strong. They have experts for almost everything technical niche, but they are mostly based in headquarters in Germany. As part of the world's largest chemical company, there are many career opportunities outside of the catalyst division.

      Cons

      BASF struggles with poor customer service and account managers. They fail to develop the close personal relationships that are key in any business. Customer service is hindered by complex systems which make delivery of products painfully slow. The influence of the German culture is very apparent. This can be both good and bad.

      Ok but not my forever job

      Security technology analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They gave me a job after I was laid off from my last job in April. My coworkers are helpful and the pay is decent. I worked at my previous company for 25 years so having friendly coworkers helps make the transition easier.

      Cons

      Company is huge and management doesn't have a clue as how to organize everything. I am a technology analyst and am good at what I do. However, at a new company you need some help to aclimate yourself to your new environment. Also the commute is brutal. While I live and work in NJ my commute is just way too far. I am learning there is very little chance of job advancement. I recently got my license in another area and I am currently working on my own business. Once it takes off I am moving on.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      a big company with a lot of opportunities, good pay and good bonus

      Cons

      too much politics, and promotion is dependent on your networking instead of your performance
