Pros

Within the scientific reporting structure, employee development, intercultural exchange, and independent thinking were valued at mid-levels. Immediate supervisor provided ample opportunities to expand role and support in doing so.

Cons

Poor development decisions at highest levels and a strategic alliance gone bad were major contributors to the eventual dismantling of a great workplace.

Pros

Good opportunity to learn and increase individual competency. Provide systematic training for developing employee. High degree of freedom to work under own umbrella.

Cons

Acquisition activities to be new Solvay is not well balancing for turn Solvay from conservative organization and slow mover to fast moving organization. Doubtful for remaining of old Solvay strengths and people attitudes.
