Pros

You can get some experience here, but don't count on a career.

Cons

This company used to have a very low rating, but due to a lot of recent bogus (and very short) reviews, it looks like a great place to work, with the rating going from 2.8 to 4 within a year. If Glassdoor doesn't develop a way to filter out the fake reviews, it won't have any credibility soon. The Amphibians running the company have no idea what any of their American employees actually do. The promotions only go to their fellow countrymen,

We are sorry you did not enjoy working with us. If the ratings improved, maybe it's because things are not as bad as you think it was? Anyway, plenty of executive positions are hold by Americans as it is a third of our activities. Several Business Units are under American management.

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

Pros

Site Culture Global specialty materials strategy has proven to be quite good

Cons

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