Business Outlook

Pros

Solvay has a very good training and development program if you able to take advantage of it. Benefits are good; compensation is good.

Cons

Executive managers can be jerks. They do not need your recommendation or input since they have already made the decision. It is a fast paced environment. If you are not identified as a golden boy" you will be relegated to a life of mediocrity.
