Eastman reviews

When in doubt, do not work here. Leadership hires good ol’ boys (very few women ever make it to a “director” title) who never get held accountable for bad decisions. Instead, the workforce pays for those bad decisions by getting laid off or working on a team where half-3/4 of your team has been laid off and now you have to do 5 people’s jobs. There is little investment in new technology and innovation and leadership does not think strategically enough to trust their teams. Because of the lack of trust and constant threat of layoffs, culture is horrible. I know many people who have gotten seriously sick because of the stress of working at Eastman. The long-term business outlook is poor because the company cannot seem to think beyond their quarterly results. This prevents everyone from doing the work that would really matter and forces them to put out fires constantly. I don’t know of a department that isn’t like this. All in all, the cons far outweigh the benefits.

DEI is alive and well, here: Don’t expect to be promoted based upon merit. Watch your back and do NOT confide in HR. Performance Reviews are baseless — just metric-less fluff. Moral decay is rampant.
