Pros

This is a good place to work with people who care about their jobs and co-workers. Colleagues are willing to help one another to complete projects. CEO genuinely cares about the well being of employees.

Cons

There is definitely a list of employees who are “chosen” for promotions and get “fast tracked” up the corporate ladder. If you are not on the “list” you will not get promoted. There is alot of secrecy around this. A lack of diverse leaders (especially Black) in people manager roles and leadership team.

Pros

Decent 401k, you can hide there being mediocre for years

Cons

Management is all political with people being pushed into positions where they are incompetent. Basf is not customer focused and spends too much time defining what a customer is than working with the customer. Product and margin focused with very limited concern on relationships and long term customer engagement.
