      Powerful Company, but Senior Leadership Has Attention Deficit Syndrome

      Research fellow
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Huge technical capability. Large investment in new technology.

      Cons

      Senior leadership can't figure out what direction to take the company -- specialties, commodities, solar, globalization, energy, hydrocarbon-based polymers. It is the flavor of the quarter. This lack of direction and complete reliance on brainless work processes is damaging the growth prospects of this company. It can be a very frustrating place to work.

      Business Services Rotational Program

      Supply chain analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Coming out of college you will work in a job with responsibilities that are truly business critical. Opportunities exist across all functions within business services, including operations, logistics, purchasing, I/S, planning, scheduling, modeling, business consulting, and improvement functions. Even though a majority of the jobs are located in middle of no-where Midland, MI, you come in with a network of 50+ young professionals who've graduated college in the last 2 years. Other job opportunities are available in Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, an Indianapolis. Excellent ability to learn and develop skills much higher than what one would expect in first few years out of school.

      Cons

      Performance Review and promotional system can be a little discouraging if you are a hard worker looking to get ahead in the first few years of your career. Length of 3 rotations and are uncertain, as well as whether you will complete all 3 rotations (i.e. if you feel ready to move out into a full time job, you let leaders know and will will be moved).
