Pros

In some business units there can be a strong teamwork a one co-workers; good people to work with. Benefits and salary are average.

Cons

Very negative corporate culture; default is that you are wrong unless you can prove you are right; very high turnover so those who stay >1 yr end up being overloaded with work and constantly training new resources.

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

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