      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good balance of work and life in general Opportunities to learn different skills A lot of resources at your disposal, if you know how to access them. Everyone has heard of your company, which saves some explaining to relatives People are generally tolerant of timelines slipping

      Cons

      Slowing moving, stuck in a commodity chemical mindset. Rigidly compliant to set processes. Inpersonal, you have a problem? email a nameless email address and hope for a reply. Dependence on contractors makes routine functions unpredictable, it can take months to get bills paid. Constant layoffs and downsizing has made the morale of the work force dismal. Innovation is a buzz word rather than a core value. The company is more about managers playing politics, kick down kiss up will get you far.
