Had a unique corporate culture but lost it with Rhodia acquisition

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked at Solvay 27 years and enjoyed its unique corporate culture. Was a matricial organisation, Very competent and dedicated staff members for whom Solvay was like a family. Trust, team work, commitment, respect. Of course it was a bit slow in decision making but never made mistakes. A leader in all its businesses. Very international. Family owned and managed, so long term oriented. Life careers with lot of development opportunities.

Cons

With the acquisition of Rhodia (with the proceeds of the sale of the Pharma division), we have attended a full reverse take-over. Management and culture are now French. Short term and performance oriented. Opportunistic for careers (external hiring preferred).
