Cons

-Tough work life balance -Very lean, can work individuals hard -Not good at handling poor performers. -Bonus program now benefits poor performers vs benefiting high performers -Job descriptions are very vague. Ultimately doing whatever management says. Can cause confusion and a lot of random work assignments -Time based promotions rule over experience based promotions

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