Pros

Huntsman is absolutely phenomenal when it comes to family time and the pay is good. They have great health benefits, pretty standard vacation benefits and for the most part, managers watch the backs of their people. Easy to be an overachiever in the current environment.

Cons

Promotions are based on years of service instead of actual quality/quantity of work. People also get promoted on work that they have done instead of their abilities to actually take on more responsibilities in new roles which leads to bad management and ultimately - complacency. It is incredibly easy to be an overachiever in the environment because many people take weeks, if not months or years to complete tasks given to them despite clear deadlines. Literally, managers will alter deadlines in a system so that they can meet their bonus requirements and look good on paper when in reality they are not doing their jobs in a timely matter or with any quality whatsoever. Accountability seems to go out of the window and sadly, upper management is aware of these things but doesn't do anything to stop it. Another thing is bullying, it runs rampant here. If you want to keep up with the big boys and advance in the company, get some thick skin and throw your colleagues under a bus. One last thing is that heads of divisions do not do a great job of motivating their teams. They actually excel at the demotivation aspect. In one division, R&D along with marketing and sales are so dysfunctional with one another that no projects come in and nothing beneficial gets done for the company.
