Toxic place. Be prepared to work at 200% and put up with everything from harassment to flat out disrespect.

Business Outlook

Pros

Solvay is a great Global Company with a high priority on sustainability and corporate integrity. High value on Safety and it's not just talk. Global corporation that encourages growth and mobility.

Cons

Dead wood is allowed to linger without consequences. Pulls moral of entire local plant down. This seems to be a Corporate HR decision as many sites complain about same issue. High performers are overloaded (overwhelmed) and subject to burnout while they watch the under performers sitting in their offices on the internet.
