Pros

A lot of good people work here. (I don't have anything else to add but they make you use 20 words.)

Cons

Private Equity - Upper Management can't see past the quarter. Their "go to" cost cutting move is to lay off and withhold salary increases. No future unless you are a former Borden employee. Core Values are more like Core Suggestions. Incentive Compensation Plan has a lot of smoke and mirrors. It should be called the Invisible Compensation Plan.

Pros

Exposure to real enterprise-scale datasets and forecasting models. Supportive cross-functional teams that encourage learning and ownership. Opportunities to work directly on high-impact business problems. Strong platform exposure (Azure, Power BI, Databricks) that builds technical depth.

Cons

Workload can be fast-paced — but this has strengthened my ability to prioritize and deliver under pressure. Processes are still evolving — giving me space to contribute improvements and drive structure. Limited formal hierarchy — which has helped me become more self-driven and independent. Some projects require navigating ambiguity — a great opportunity to build problem-solving confidence
