Pros

Evonik has undertaken a program to become more diverse and has recognized the need for more female executives. They have also begun a professional, well thought out approach to developing their talent in North America in response to the recognized need for such. Good performers are rewarded and the tuition reimbursement benefit is the absolute best. 100% paid up front - books, fees and all. They are a paternalistic company keeping current with benefits and costs. In the next few years, employees are going to witness many positive changes in the way Evonik goes forward as a unified corporation within NA. In the past there were many inbound expats coming from Germany. The quickest way toward advancement for qualified candidates is to be mobile and willing to accept assignments in other locations. Currently, we have more outbound expats than inbound - so things are changing.

Cons

Many individual managers need more training in how to be a good people manager.

Pros

There are not many unfortunately - it is better if you are an Engineer or an expert in Sales - otherwise - not many pros to speak of - pay is ok, benefits are ok - not the worst but not the best.

Cons

If you are a woman in this company - you either have to be under the age of 30 or an Engineer. There is no respect in this old boy's network for any woman 35+ with a brain. If you look at HR - most if not all of the staff are under 30 - it is a running joke within the Company. There are a few managers to respect who are professional and a pleasure to work with - but not many.
