Pros

Lively firm with some strategy in terms of global business. Important financial pressure, but can cope with. Nice size allowing for career opportunities.

Cons

Depending too much on which BU you work for. Salaries are slightly sub average when compared to competitors

If you see room for improvement about working environment within the BU, feel free to express it to your supervisor or to the career manager. Sometimes, feedback like that can help us making things better, even if it takes times. About salaries, we benchmark each year and it appears that we are not subaverage compared to competitors, but there is some differences about packages.

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.
