Pros

Benefits and Bonus are excellent. Plenty of training opportunities.

Cons

Acquired companies and their are many are not treated the same as direct employees of BASF. Some supervisors judge the work merits of an employee from somewhere other than the location the worker is working. BASF assumes that an acquired company already knows the BASF way of operation. Some employees are left to learn things on their own with very little or no support.

Pros

Flexible work hours and work from home options. Good salery and work environment. Empowered to succeed and grow with the company.

Cons

Some areas of the company aren't as empowering as others. You just need to make sure you are with the right group. Some departments don't follow the path as the rest of the company and are stuck in the 70s.

Pros

They are very supportive of young professionals and emphasize a learning and development culture. If you are in a business unit that matches your passion and experience, you can have a great experience at BASF. Even though the company is very large, it still has a small community feel because many people stay with BASF for their entire career.

Cons

If you are not a chemist or a chemical engineer, your ability to move within the company is much more limited. BASF could use more diversification to allow for more mobility of professionals with different experience.
