Business Outlook

Pros

-Compensation and benefits -Career development opportunities -Work-life balance -High-caliber and friendly employees -Good to excellent middle-managemers.

Cons

-Indiscriminate multi-year pay increase and promotion freeze in a country where a large wave of young people was hired to compensate for the retirement of a large wave of professionals. Experienced employees with a more stable career didn't mind all that much but younger professionals who were led to expect more reward from their successes and faster growth were disappointed.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very strong ethics, ingrained culture of respectfulness and political correctness, global processes

Cons

Chemical industry is characterised by cyclical feast and famine, and coupled with the larger global economic uncertainty, that certainly drives everything - from compensation to development/advancement to job security and workload.
