      I became a champion of change, and would still be there, had these last changes not been so bizarre. - Senior Buyer LyondellBasell Employee Review

      Pros

      Had I been asked this question 2000 - 2010, I would say the people...Even up to 2009 - leadership had not gotten to be so goofy. The Basell buy of Lyondell (2007) was a bit stressful but "doable" as both companies had amazing folks coming together to collaborate on best practices. Alot of lasting friendships and great things, believe it or not, came from that "merger".

      Cons

      Procurement Leadership = Dictatorship "Management by embarrassment" is self proclaimed by one Extremely high turnover with slow/no backfill = frustration and stress Unethical, unprofessional, and not a trustworthy group of managers (x4) heading the team into the ground. (ex. 30% reduction of group since 2009, mostly by choice)

      Pros

      Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

      Cons

      Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
