      Pros

      Benefits are very good in all areas

      Cons

      The recent push to hire more diverse job candidates is hurting the company. Best people are being passed over for female candidates as the company tries to win political points and be recognized by the media for it's practices. It's to the point that we'll soon be dealing with lawsuits, which will surely slow down our already slow process even more.

      Thanks for your feedback, it’s a great measure of caring about our company when people take the time to share their perspectives, and I appreciate your doing so. Our efforts to build a diverse and inclusive work environment are based on making BASF stronger for everyone. That includes all of us who work here, our customers who benefit from our ability to look through different lenses and find new approaches to solve problems and meet market needs, and people who are looking to join us in the future. Hiring decisions are all about choosing the best candidate, bringing together interview teams to select people who are the best at what they do from a talent pool that is stronger and more diverse than ever before. As we build a thoughtful, engaging and inclusive place to work for all, I would appreciate the opportunity to engage further on this topic with you, and encourage you to please reach out to me so that we can continue the conversation.

      Pros

      A very good company to work for. Shows consideration for employees and has a very flexible working policy. Proud of its enviable sustainability record and continues to build upon it. Good pay and conditions, nice working environment.

      Cons

      All of the above can vary between business units and managers. German colleagues with the right background can fast track in a way others cannot.

      Pros

      Challenging, fast paced, above average salary, great colleagues, self-learning and development encouraged. I found great mentors here, although I had to take any and all effort to identify and find the subject matter expert (one who has the ability timewise of course), foster the relationship, and was extremely lucky with who my colleagues were. There is ample opportunity for self development through courses, workshops, etc. Vacation and benefits arel amazing.

      Cons

      There is absolutely no career development plan system, nor will one materialize even if you speak with leadership multiple times per day/week/month about anything relating to this topic. I was not allowed to attend industry professional and/or subject matter conferences due to cost restrictions (other's in same position were able to depending on BU). Direct line manager on up had literally no understanding of what my position entailed, or what I was working on at any given time (despite myself personally setting up weekly or bi-weekly status update / project management plans. Manager blatantly lied on yearly review bc I took actions that were at the minimal ethical, but also defied SLT guidance to manage project in a manner that would lead to reporting Inaccurate information to government bodies.....co-workers out of this world, but management (mostly) is incompetent, ignorant, unethical, or all of the above.
