Pros

Great benefits, can learn a lot at this company.

Cons

You may not be compensated or recognized for your hard work and dedication unless you are a "high potential" employee. The only way to be recognized as a "Hypo" is if all leaders agree you are worthy of the title. Trust is something leadership doesn't value, information is not shared with employees, well the communications department will say they share information but in reality leadership doesn't share information that will help their employees be successful. Until "leadership" including the CEO can build a trusting leadership team this company will continue to have the deserved reputation it currently has of "hard work and little reward". Unqualified internal employees are given jobs and promotions that they have no knowledge of and are provided the opportunity to "learn on the job". While other qualified employees wait in the background and do the work of those who are learning. You are labeled in most cases by one person and then that label is continued throughout your career. 30, 40+ year employees are not valued, but thought of as a liability because they may die or retire and there is no one to take their place. Leadership bullying goes on behind closed doors, employees being cussed at to their face and threatened if they go to a higher level of authority for any reason. This is a shame as this could be a "great place to work". It is a hard company to work for and is certainly not for the faint at heart.

Pros

At lyondellbasell, I really enjoyed working with the people and the culture is great. Everyone is extremely supportive and willing to help!

Cons

Depending on which department or group you are in, the closeness of the team can vary. Some teams do team bonding activities but those activities are not very often. More team bonding activities can promote a more positive and supportive work environment.
