Pros

Good benefits (vacation days, health insurance), nice site location, great team. In general, the work atmosphere was good and there was no backstabbing among the employees

Cons

Due to the fact that AP is outsourced and the process does not work, Purchasing cannot focus on its tasks and is approx. 50% of the time busy with fire fighting and administration (resolving delivery stops and fixing booking issues). So far, there is no willingness to improve. For newcomers there is no structured training given. Huntsman is constantly changing (selling businesses, acquiring business). The changes are made too fast, they are badly managed and communicated to the employees. The ERP system is not setup properly, therefore, a lot of important functionalities cannot be used. Political decisions and saving money is more important than keeping talents in the company. Consequently, the turnover rate of people became very high.
