      Pros

      401K matching is better than any company I know Stable company

      Cons

      There is a large focus on attracting and retaining talent, but not enough training, growth opportunities, and responsibility are provided for the company to be a good place to start a career. Also, to move up in the company, you either need to be German or work in Germany.

      Pros

      Big, financially sound company that is diversifying away from traditional, cyclical commodities to more of a specialty product focus. From a financial point of view, they are well run and profitable.

      Cons

      BASF Corp cares very little for their employees. The HR mantra "build the best team in the industry" is a joke. Benefits are consantly being slashed, salary increases at or below cost of living increases and unless you are a German, good luck advancing above a mid management position. The beauracracy there is out of control, it just amazes you that any work can get done. They are (rightfully) so concerned about anti-trust, that lawyers run the company. A terribly frustrating place to work.
