Pros

As with many organizations Evonik --provides employment opportunities, benefits including 401(k), bonus plan etc; --sound manufacturing business model with a nearly recession-proof portfolio of mostly commodity products; Evonik also provides imo an excellent opportunity for those interested in fully learning how a commodity organization works; --For those interested in the technical side of the business they truly excel at R&D research. The marketing and sales side is great too but at the end of the day the business more or less runs itself with few exceptions. Senior management often is technically strong as well. If one favors mostly predictable day-to-day employment this might be a Holy Grail. Time most evenings to coach the kid's sport teams and be on school board for example (if these things are what the employee seeks). Personally I enjoyed every minute of being there but left only because I needed to be challenged more. Nothing personal at all, the Mgt team understood and embraced it without incident.

Cons

No negatives to speak of. Evonik to me was simply an organization trying to make a profit without trying to be more than an great manufacturing company. German creativity at its best with regard to chemistry and chemical engineering and with rich long of doing so.
