      Excellent Company, but PDP Program Can Feel Like Glorified Internship - PDP BASF Employee Review

      Pros

      Endless opportunities to work in a variety of industries, the company encourages you to change roles every two years, strong focus on career development, excellent work-life balance, and great work culture with a push to talk to upper-level management, and an opportunity to work all over the country and abroad.

      Cons

      It is a large, global company, so everything moves very slowly and therefore it is hard to see your impact on the company. PDPs are not always taken seriously and the program itself can feel like a glorified internship with no real responsibility. Also, you ultimately need to be mobile in order to move up in the company.

      Pros

      Lots of low hanging fruit if you are willing to see things through and challenge the system. If your goal is to make a difference, you definitely can, you just have to be patient.

      Cons

      Typical frustration with bureaucratic norms and practices. Things take two, three or four times longer than they should.
