      Good benefits due to size, which also lends to its downfall

      Pros

      Good Health Insurance benefits, flexible job hrs

      Cons

      Procurement steers the ship, not real world results. IT also locks you down....literally. Safety makes it tough to have anything outsourced. the company may be the worst at what they do, but if they have a good safety record they are in. Basically, the company ties your hands behind your back via "support" functions. No empowerment given to the employees making decisions

      Pros

      BASF seems pretty organized when it comes to new hire onboarding and training. They also have one of the best attitudes about safety I've seen anywhere. Employees look out for one another and the teamwork tends to carry over to other areas. Benefits are great; they offer flex time, reimbursals for gym memberships and the like , telecommuting, and there are a ton of other benefits.

      Cons

      None noted. I am hoping the honeymoon period doesn't end after two years!

      A good place to be

      Pros

      Good pay, insurance, and many smaller benefits like health club reimbursement, fitness trackers that reward you($), etc. Good work live balance, but that may be up to each department head. Everything is safety first.

      Cons

      Like many large companies, there is much bureaucracy and paperwork. They seem to buy and sell divisions a lot. I've heard a joke that BASF stands for Buys And Sells Factories. If you don't set a new $$record this year it's "OMG the sky is falling, we've got to tighten our belts"
