Risk Averse Management - lots of lost opportunities - Anonymous employee Eastman Employee Review

Eastman has been the best company I've worked for in my career. They have a solid safety culture and room for growth.

No con in my experience...

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
