      AVOID AT ALL COST!

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      No pros. Pay was decent

      Cons

      Would give management a negative - 10 stars. Avoid at all cost. Management I dealt with very prejudice. When issues were brought to the attention of HR they advised nothing they can do. Raises given based upon who you hand out with and go drinking with, not based upon ability. If you are not willing to sell your sole to the god of Evonik they will do all they can to make your work life a nightmare.

      Great expectations/Disappointing reality

      Marketing & sales
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Talented global colleagues and competitive pay and benefits.

      Cons

      Multi-layered decision making and silo-ed thinking. Failure to automate processes prevents workers from being nimble and efficient.
