Pros

Solvay is an outcome driven company that gives employees a lot of autonomy. That autonomy comes with expectations to provide value and impact. There is a lot of reward for taking initiative.

Cons

The company is growing into a new phase so employees need to be able to navigate change and duties that can be more expansive than the initial parameters of a job.
