      Pros

      Old Solvay, before the Rhodia acquisition was a conservative but stable company dominated by a Euro-centric policy. Compensation was average to above average, but opportunities were non-existent for Americans. The new Solvay is much more fast paced. The are many more opportunities for advancement as lots of people are leaving the company.

      Cons

      New Solvay is still very Euro or Franco centric with most mid and upper management opportunities given to ex pats from overseas. Salary targets are now 50% of midpoint in industry, down from 80%. This will slowly lead to a lower quality team. Merger of Solvay and Rhodia has taken the worst from each group, rather than the best. Focus is entirely focused on financials, rather the the business as a whole.

      Pros

      I have no pros that I can think of

      Cons

      I was actually let go in 2019. It would not let me scroll in the drop down for the year. I was let go after returning from short term disability. The only time I ever was on short term disability in 11 years. My lawyer told me I could sue and would more than likely win. I chose not to.
