Pros

Good learning ground (even though you’re just a Chemist, you’re expected to do procurement, planning and everything in between)

Cons

Expected to work overtime on short notice (many times without compensation) Severely understaffed Extremely toxic workplace (publicly announcing any mistakes you’ve made, ostracises you if they deem you’re different from them) Expected to put work before your own health (asked to work during medical leave) Too many “leaders”, no clear person-in-charge (too much work politics)

Pros

Remote Flexibility: The ability to work remotely was a massive benefit, allowing for great autonomy, daily independence, and the ability to focus entirely on deliverables without distraction. Product Portfolio: Working here provides excellent exposure to complex matrix operations,

Cons

Workplace Culture: The internal team environment can be highly toxic, fragmented, and lacking in genuine support or positive morale. There is an over-rotation on pointing out negativity rather than fostering constructive or collaborative growth. Management Style: There is a noticeable disconnect in leadership, with heavy systemic pressure and a cultural noise that can be difficult to navigate if you are not isolated from the main hubs. The level of micromanagement is exceptionally high, which stifles individual autonomy. Furthermore, cross-border or cross-functional communication with team members in other countries is heavily restricted and actively frowned upon, creating unnecessary operational silos.
