Pros

I cannot think of any Pros to work at Lanxess.

Cons

Such a messy company without any clear vision nor direction from the management. Many of my colleagues both in local and international keep leaving. I've heard whole team from 1 country left like boycotting. Therefore, organization structure and work scope keep changing as well. Due to many changes, communication is corrupt internationally and seems like management doesn't know what to do. If you join them, you may only experience the chaos. Not recommended.

Pros

It’s awesome working for a global company. I love people that are sitting on a different continent, telling me how things should run in Pittsburgh. I love that one of the top descriptions when applying is their robust bonus system with they haven’t had bonuses in years. I love the travel bans and layoffs, but upper management dines and flies all over the globe. I also love that our counterparts get months of vacation and we can’t escape 12 hour days.

Cons

Who wouldn’t want to work here?
