Pros

Good systems and processes. Good environment with a high emphasis on safe working. Still considered an industry leader despite difficult years and likely further cutbacks

Cons

Slow moving in a slow industry. Unlikely to remain competitive in its basic commodity business without access to low-cost feedstocks. Strategy in specialties not credible especially when it labels parts of its base chemicals businesses as specialty.
