Pros

Small company feeling. Benefits, good dedicated employees,flexible vacation time, could work remotely when needed.

Cons

Not enough headcount, highly overload you with work. Must be available 24-7. Mid to upper level management old school unwilling to change. If you work hard does matter they fire you for no reason. Restructuring all the time. Changing managers all the time. Beware... They make u feel like it is a good secure company and stab you in the back and fire you for no reason. Pay is average.

Pros

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

Pros

Site Culture Global specialty materials strategy has proven to be quite good

Cons

Resource constraints. But this is quite common in chemicals/specialty materials these days from what I hear.
