Pros

Well established and well known organization. Global player in Chemical Industry. Diversified business portfolio providing various career opportunities including international assignment. Friendly and down-to-earth working culture with focus on business ethics.

Cons

Not market/ customer-oriented. Hierarchical and slow in decision-making. Not dynamic enough to respond timely to market changes. Too complicated in the organizations which affect efficiency. Top management are still "German-centric".
