      Pros

      Nice people, good inviting friendly atmosphere, fairly flexible working time (can leave at 3pm on Fridays). Some of the higher managers (especially those who joined Croda from another companies rather then got promoted through Graduate Scheme) are very accessible, open minded and innovative.

      Cons

      Double standards (benefits, salaries, working flexi time differs between sites in UK not only worldwide). No much room to progress. If you have a PhD, forget about this being appreciated in any way (neither title nor higher salary). People who have not been on Graduate Scheme earn much less than those who were on the scheme even if doing the same job. Graduates also have pay rises in contract and get promoted over the people who were not on the scheme (even the one with experience from another company and/or PhD).

      Pros

      Good experience for a first time job. Have access to managers, technical leaders all the way up to the CEO. Still have some good benefits that other companies have long since dropped.

      Cons

      The pay is mediocre but the prospect of moving up on the career ladder is very poor especially if you want to stay technical. Not everyone want to be a manager and this is not recognised. I was there for 5 years and was never promoted especially being on one of the smaller sites we're often overlooked. I have however delivered many projects on target and in budget but this was never recognised. All sites having different working contracts such as working hours, number of holidays, accruing days off etc making it a conflict between staff on different sites. Promotions and salary increases are not in line with performance but reviews are done every year.
