Pros

BASF is a diverse employer that offers good opportunities for advancement. Senior management is available and accepts new ideas. A large focus is put on employee satisfaction.

Cons

Average compensation and can act as a very large organization(as it is). Some personalities do not perform will in matrix organizations. Care should be taken if you do not like these types of groups.

Engineer/R&D

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Great resources and the opportunity to work with really talented, smart, and nice people. People had a great sense of personal integrity throughout the organization, and even though I was a woman engineer in a very male-dominated business, I was treated with respect.

Cons

Promotions and opportunities can be biased to Germans, but this is a German-owned company, so this is not a total shock. Depending on where you (manufacturing/plant versus directly in a business), there is not always a good work/life balance and long hours are pretty standard.
