Pros

Small team. Friendly people. Good training.

Cons

HQ controls everything - there is no discretion left to the subsidiary. Management rotates every three years so they do not have to suffer the consequences of any mistakes they may make.

Pros

Lots of talented, well educated co-workers. Get lots of responsibility and training here. Most people work in offices which have doors, about 30% in cubes. Centralized downtown location, company also pays for metro park and ride bus passes, good 401k matching, great medical insurance, and fitness club subsidy at nearby downtown ymca. Salary levels are targeted to be in 60% of big energy company ranges with another 5% to 10% added at end of year as potential bonus. Some middle level jobs have international travel opportunities.

Cons

Business environment is working against the European side of the chemicals business for the next 5 years and likely further cost cutting there will probably be felt in the US. Expecting to see cost reductions on US side in the next 12 months which will affect the average employee in areas of bonus, training, travel, salary, and staffing levels. The recent reorganization moved many people into jobs they did not prefer to have and has resulted in turnover with positions not being replaced. Some areas in US are understaffed resulting in occasional or even frequent heavy workload. Excessive amount of power points, justifications, and long term planning. Decision making is slow, even more so because of foreign management culture.
