Nothing excieting and top tier management are rotten to the core

Engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty free and nothing much to do. Pay is not fantastic but looking at the amountof work I need to do. Its really a steal.

Cons

Other than my immediate boss, the rest of the upper management are terrible. Everyone only care about themsleves and how mich money can be saved. The performance review system is totally non-existant! You don't get paid for what you deliver. The bonus is the same throughout the whole company irregardless of how much you deliver and how hard you work. Just sleep on the job, nobody cares..

Clariant - Use it as a stepping stone to a real career!

Senior chemical engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits are good. Clariant is also not very structured in procedures. So if you like to take charge and lead the way, there are not many to stop you.

Cons

Company is headquartered in Switzerland. The Swiss run the company like a bank. If you think America is focused on short term goals wait till you work for the Swiss. Clariant does not demonstrate much regard for their employees. Lots of petty rules which are supposed to streamline the process but really slow you down. Senior management at the board level is very poor and the company has been declining in financial strength for many years.
