      Great place to work and live

      Principal scientist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice place to work overall. Great people, good cafeteria, stable, good long-term outlook, good salary and benefits. Beautiful area to live, close to mountains and coast. Generally nice weather.

      Cons

      Working globally can be a little difficult given the internal politics (e.g., it is a German-owned company and it can be difficult for non-German colleagues to rise to senior positions). It is also a very processed-driven company. Hard to do anything outside the defined process.

      If you are looking for a long term career look elsewhere

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I've been working for BASF Catalyst Division for over 4 years now and I can't come up with a lot of positives. benefits are good, that's really it.

      Cons

      Working hard does not pay off at BASF. middle management definetly worries more about the squeaky wheel than the people working hard to make the place a success. middle managmnt is very weak and as a result people do not get along, it's a very malicious hostile environment and HR is not interested in solving the problems. getting a promotion is not realistic. the general consensus is that your position is generally a dead end. BASF doesn't invest in your career or show any commitment to keeping you around. instead they will hire an external candidate and require you to show them their job. very backward thinking.invest
