Pros

Worked with very interesting people with all experience levels. Had the pleasure of working with some long time employees who really knew a lot about the chemical industry.

Cons

Have never seen a company more obsessed with safety, to the point of paranoia. If you are in a leadership position, watch out because you will definitely get hammered for anything safety related, even if it was something that senior management was aware of.

Pros

Great people Great opportunities Willing to give more responsibility/grow Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work

Cons

Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue

Resource constraints. But this is quite common in chemicals/specialty materials these days from what I hear.
