Eastman reviews

Byzantine and anachronistic processes that are (in contradiction) constantly changing. It often does not occur to contributors to own the business impact of their decisions and recommendations. HR policies drive negative behaviors and incentivize talent to leave across all levels of the company.

While in the past there were many upsides of being employed at Eastman , now is not the time to join . The culture and working environment has become toxic. I am concerned about the capability of the leadership team in driving our innovation platforms and the overall health of the organization . After the RIF in February people are dual and triple hatted and drowning in work. And the attitude of Eastman is “ be lucky you have a job” We promote people based off favoritism and not on capability . It’s an environment that thrives on building consensus with homogenous thinkers everywhere you look. Times at Eastman are scary right now . It’s like being in the jungle and everyone is in self preservation mode which drives behaviors that have greatly impaired the psychological safety and well being of the employees . Unless you sit in Kingsport Tennessee with the rest of us we are not inclusive of you . You will have to scratch and claw just to get into the meetings that are essential to your job . It feels like no one is aligned and everyone is working against each-other and it will eventually be the end of Eastman. My advice to anyone reading this is to wait to see if they can turn it around . We have a lot to learn as an employer .
