Pros
Good technical expertise especially in engineering and science. Big company with many businesses and products offers diverse opportunities for career development national and international. Good benefits.
Cons
Very bureaucratic. Diverse thought not encouraged. Hierarchy and "who you know" dictate job advancement. Too slow to respond timely to market opportunities and customer needs. No consistent development programs for professionals. Basically non-existent program for early career professionals and very weak for more experienced ones. Salaries do not commensurate with responsibilities especially with increased workload as aging workforce retires. Chemical handling and chemical plants might not offer attractive job settings for new professionals especially women.
