      Absolutely Destroyed Engelhard Corporation - BASF Catalysts is an empty shell today

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      deep pockets unasailable market share in Germany good process engineering skills focus on environment

      Cons

      bureacratic, cold, aloof, stifling duplicitous - none of the statements made during the takeover of Engelhard turned out to be true weak, dishonest, pathetic management - starting with the team that integrated Engelhard If you're not German you have no future with the company at all Weak R&D low-end, commodity business focus - inevitably will lose out due to rise of Middle East higher-end chemical businesses, US energy cost advantage, and aging, shrinking European market

      Worst Company I've Ever Seen

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nothing that I can think of. I'm still working here and really want to quit.

      Cons

      Overtime is a culture there. You won't get off work on time. Managers are always not there when you are facing difficulties. Workload is extremely heavy, yet they will not increase headcount. Corporate greed 1000%; minimum empathy for employees who work for them. No parking space available; You have to pay quite an expensive parking fee everyday if you drive to work. No chance of promotion as all the upper positions are occupied. Does NOT provide work-life balance to employees. Benefits given are just similar to any other companies, yet they expect us to do more and forfeit our free time. What a joke! My health has worsen everyday sicne I joined the copmpany, the biggest regret I had in my life is joining this awful company.
