      Good company overall. It'll be around for a long time. Definitely not for everyone as it has it's quirks.

      Pros

      Lots of job options. Very big company, so there's bound to be something you'd find interesting. It's run very conservatively so there's zero risk they will go out of business.

      Cons

      No real career planning. Employee has to take full ownership and push their own plan. It's not a very customer focused company. They do things their way. There's no room for entrepreneurial creativity.

      Pros

      Solid, successfull, good salaries, intelligent people around. BASF SA contributes a lot for professional development. Things work well and processes are perfectly german established.

      Cons

      HIerachical environment, people cannot say waht they really think - not even the Geramns very known for the critical attitude. Brazilians make the perfect German process a mess, but still better than the average in Brazil. Oldfashion Leaders, strange decisions about people.

      Pros

      Good salary and benefits there.

      Cons

      Run by chemist and engineers; not a lot of thinking outside the box when it comes to managing people. Also the worst HR department in the universe. Managers call it the R department because they didn’t feel there were any humans in there.
