Pros
The people for the most part remain the advantage Eastman holds. I know a lot of companies say that (e.g. "we have the best team and we can win this!"), but I genuinely felt that way about my peers upon joining Eastman. Not so much for their capabilities- which I thought were on par with those I experienced at other chemical companies- but for their added empathy and the overall good culture. That has been trending negatively, but still remains a large reason why I remain.
Cons
The vision that is communicated from the Executive Team straight through the ranks lacks substance and everyone can feel it. Even the team members in the flavor-of-the-month businesses lack enthusiasm and this is even more pronounced among businesses receiving less investment. Below the Executive team, business leaders seldom have the bravery or ability to manage expectations upwards. I am all for challenging ourselves to stretch but goals are often disconnected with reality. Compensation is great for newcomers but once we have you, forget about base compensation increases above GDP or for role changes. The salary you negotiate upon your hire is what you are stuck with plus 3% give or take the rest of your career.
