Pros

Overall a good company but lot of politics in the IT department

Cons

1.Horrible intra- department politics 2. Selfish/rude people, no respect for an employee at all 3. No work life balance whatsoever 4. Team leads/Managers will insult you in front of a crowd to prove their prominence 5. Compelled to work for 14-15hrs a day, and if you don't ..immediately compared with other employees who do 6. Mistreated if you are on a lower position 7. TL/Managers are constantly demeaning employees and being good in front of their bosses 8. If you leave office on time, it is considered you aren't dedicated towards your work 9. In some teams you aren't allowed to go for a coffee break as well, treated worse than school children 10. Good work not appreciated 11. TOXIC work environment/culture 12. These people brag alot about their "so called Lanxess culture/values" but the managers/TLs itself do not follow them when time comes 13. Sometimes managers force employees to work on the day an employee has applied for a leave, despite of work not being very urgent Working in a much smaller organization would be better than working here and disturbing your peace of mind

Pros

They do things the right way. Health and safety of employees is taken very seriously. Good salary and benefits.

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy. Things often seem out of step because of overseas management.
