Pros

Remote work and company car. Some sovereignty. High performance products. Smart people.

Cons

Extremely disappointing people in leadership who shift blame to subordinates instead of taking responsibility for their mistakes. Irresponsible with CAPEX. Leadership always playing it safe to not jeapordize themselves, and too arrogant to notice the contributions made by those underneath them. Managers will also take credit for the work you do instead of empowering those under them.

Pros

Evonik is an excellent company to work for until you try promotions. The only ones to go up to the ladder are the Germans. They don’t pay as much as the competition nor the smaller company in the same field.

Cons

Evonik is an excellent company to work for until you try promotions. The only ones to go up to the ladder are the Germans. So if you work for the company for 10y and it better time to move up to upper management or superior, forget about it. They will have someone less qualified from Germany to get the position. Also, don’t try to get SDT because when you return to work it is a high possibility they they fired you. This is what happened to a colleague of mine. She was highly efficient , excellent professional, several languages, more than 10y in the company and they didn’t hesitate to kick her out due to the short term.
