Pros

Little accountability from upper management gives you freedom to develop your business which is good and bad Lot's of employee engagement items and lunches

Cons

Process and accountability needs to be developed. Because the chemical industry is very profitable you can make mistakes and still do well Merits are down and bonuses are delayed for 2016

Pros

Great benefits, hybrid & remote roles, great colleagues to work with. Great vacation /time off. Helpful colleagues

Cons

Reorganizations (roughly 3 years), IT roles dwindling in North America(moving to India), teams can get very silo-ed, “not my role” = not helping you (when you are looking for answers/assistance), currently seeing a lot of movement out of New Jersey (roles moving to other parts of the country), some organizational charts can be confusing, huge organization(can be difficult at times pinpointing the exact team you may need to work with)
