      Pros

      Was once a good company when it was Chemtura.

      Cons

      Management. Tons of nepotism!!! You will not move up in this company. No work life balance. DO NOT GET SICK. They will give you the runaround.

      New leadership has lost focus on "results", become "crony"

      Pros

      Multi-national, matrix global management structure is helpful, but reduces decision making speed drastically. Not good in a market, where "speed of response to customer" is key.

      Cons

      Be careful - certain top leaders in support functions often change their words. Deceitful behavior. Use of "lies" as a tool. These "cronies" lack knowledge, skills, conscience, and decision making ability. Mostly, these cronies create hurdles in your work! Apart from this, the business in India has lost focus on business growth in India (except for one basic chemicals business unit). Employees in global service delivery unit are being kept in dark about their future. This unit is being made irrelevant. New leadership in India is blissfully unaware of cronies and liars around - unfortunately.
