Pros

Senior leaders all the way up to the CEO, are very supportive and approachable. Leadership makes an effort to be as transparent as possible and holds virtual Town Halls quarterly. There are tons of opportunities to work with different functions and Business Units in and outside of your job scope. In my experience, managers from Technology, Marketing and EHS (HazComm, PS) do have your best personal and professional interests in mind. Over the past few months-year, there has been a bigger push to formally recognize or reward employees on a case by case basis as well as at performance reviews. Despite the common company-wide feeling of being incredibly busy the past two years, Coworkers across all functions are still willing to set aside time to share their knowledge and experience. There are many “veterans” at Momentive and this is an invaluable learning opportunity. Safety and well-being is a huge component of the culture at Momentive. In my experience, resourcing and prioritizing appropriately has been a major focus for managers and employees. Managers do not want staff burn out and want to focus the spending accordingly, plus they are willing to have tough conversations with Senior Leadership. I have found that most employees are comfortable being open and honest about workload, projects and any concerns with their direct managers and other leaders. Some job functions are now offered a Flexible Work option, 3 days in-office and 2 days remote. Although I believe you are responsible for setting up your home office (MPM provides tips on how to create a safe, productive set-up) they are more than willing, and encourage you, to make the in-office environment safe, comfortable and productive.

Cons

Some functions in the company have had high turnover, and this can be disruptive to workflow in other areas. However, MPM is making a conscious effort to address staff retention. Some internal data/processes are not fully centralized or standardized, although there are ongoing projects to do so. Staff is involved in (and may be leading) projects/assignments in addition to their “normal” job. While these are great opportunities to work cross functionally and gain experience, not all groups are appropriately resourced to handle the increased responsibility that comes with it.

Pros

Friendly colleagues and flexible hours.

Cons

As an international company with employees working in different time zones, it sometimes gets difficult to communicate with colleagues. This may sometimes lead to unusual office hours.

Pros

I'm one week into my journey at Momentive Performance Materials, and I couldn't be happier with how things have started. The onboarding process has been incredibly smooth—well-organized, supportive, and thoughtfully paced. I’ve transitioned from my previous role without feeling overwhelmed or anxious, which speaks volumes about the culture here. The corporate HQ is a fantastic place to work. My desk setup is comfortable and well-equipped, and the environment is clean, modern, and welcoming. Everyone I've met so far has been warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. There's a real sense of community and collaboration. Bonus points for the cafeteria—it offers good food and a nice space to recharge during the day. Overall, I’m excited about what’s ahead and feel confident I’ve joined a company that values its people and sets them up for success.

Cons

Coming from a hybrid work environment, I initially had some hesitation about being on-site five days a week. However, it’s actually been a refreshing change. Being at corporate HQ has helped me build relationships faster, get face time with colleagues, and feel more connected to the company culture. The workspace is comfortable, the people are welcoming, and the cafeteria is a great perk—it’s made the transition smoother than I expected.
