Pros

Solvay cares deeply about its employees and their well-being, both inside and outside the company. There are many initiatives regarding mental health and work-life balance throughout the year. The relationship between management and employees is natural and marked by a great deal of respect for individuality.

Cons

Solvay has its processes very well defined but somewhat complex in the sense that the large volume of actions divided among the various teams can lead to dissatisfaction.
