Toxic culture - boring job

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are decent with competitive pay, rich HSA, and significant bonus potential. The geographic diversity of the company is also fun. It's truly global, and yet everyone seem committed to maintaining their head in the sand as a corporate ethos.

Cons

I have worked for various Fortune 500 companies. The culture at Celanese is absolutely toxic. Everyone operates within a zero-sum mentality. If someone "wins" you "lose" and visa versa.

Good company to start off your career.

Business Outlook

Pros

Many opportunities for the motivated junior level employees; pay structure was very attractive when I began, with a possibility of an annual bonus of up to 40% of your annual base pay; benefits are solid, although eroding as most corporations in the US have recently

Cons

Seems schizophrenic when managing priorities within the business units; recent changes to the salary structure have removed bonus opportunities for the majority of employees, leaving in place semi-annual pay increases for employees deemed appropriate; utilization of outside administrative tools leaves little time to complete the tasks being documented by said tools
