Pros

Colleagues under the leadership level are generally supportive and willing to help.

Cons

Leadership doesn’t communicate well to the rest of the organization. There’s a lot of turnover, both because people leave and because of sporadic layoffs and there are frequent changes in lower level leadership, leading to constant priority changes and confusion amongst employees actually doing the work. There’s also a lack of flexibility and a new 5 days a week in the office mandate have made many people unhappy as it provides no value or additional productivity. Leadership also monitors the in office policy like big brother.

Pros

Nouryon offers competitive pay and benefits, talented employees, and quality products.

Cons

My experience was negatively impacted by the leadership within my department. Feedback was often critical instead of developmental, communication was inconsistent, and priorities frequently shifted. The company's primary focus seemed to be cash flow and financial metrics, often at the expense of employee development, collaboration, and long term process improvements. While financial performance is important, investing in people and creating a supportive culture is equally critical for sustained success.
