We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your current situation with us. Depending on where you are based (France, US, China or any of our 50 locations), I would advise you to get closer to your HR contact or career manager in order to explain your situation so we might find a suitable solution to improve your well-being at work.
Employees got around 27 hours of training each year. To learn more about that: https://www.arkema.com/en/careers/working-at-arkema/training/
About vacation days, in France, we offer between 41 and 43 days each year and we have a competitive health insure. For other countries, feel free to ask your question here: careers@arkema.com
And I would really advise you to share the issues about rudeness and work-life balance with your manager or your HR contact.
Great people
Great opportunities
Willing to give more responsibility/grow
Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work
Cons
Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue
