INEOS reviews

Limited opportunities for advancement. Local managers are supervised by directors who are located in Antwerp. This basically allows them to do as they please and not necessarily follow the promises set forth by Ineos upper management.

Employees treated as a liability. Employee terms and conditions continually eroded to reduce fixed costs. Recruitment on hold. Senior management seem to be incompetent. That might be a bit strong as they are powerless to implement any changes without permission from Ineos group who seem to keep a tight rein on everything that goes on. All spend authority has been removed from engineers. Senior managers are required to approve all spend. This just makes getting anything done a real pain. The level of beurocracy is stifling and Engineers always seem to be at the end of the chain of delegation. Simply ordering a replacement piece of kit and getting someone on site to fit/repair it is a major task with reams of paperwork, dozens of signatures required, procurement obstacles to overcome, inductions to be organized. Nothing happens easily.
