Pros

Good systems and processes. Good environment with a high emphasis on safe working. Still considered an industry leader despite difficult years and likely further cutbacks

Cons

Slow moving in a slow industry. Unlikely to remain competitive in its basic commodity business without access to low-cost feedstocks. Strategy in specialties not credible especially when it labels parts of its base chemicals businesses as specialty.

Pros

Pay well and good benefit. US operation sites are located in good communities. It has good company brand name which make employee to be proud of working for this company.

Cons

Too much politics. If you want to get better compensation and fast promotion, you have to talk to your boss a lot, not to work a lot.
