Pros

Great benefits, interesting work at a global company, 3 days/week flexibility to work from home

Cons

Too lean. Staff leaves and remaining staff has to pick up work. If a replacement is hired, it can take months to post the position. Promotions and spot bonuses are unevenly distributed, based on manager's interest in pursuing. A big focus on DEI means more training hours and less time for work.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
