      Fundamentally a commodity chemical company trying to reinvent itself

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BASF makes money by being a very efficient manufacturer of commodity chemicals. It is attempting to improve performance it is attempting to reinvent itself as a specialty chemical company to extract greater value.

      Cons

      Being part of this transformation is exciting and at the same time very frustrating as many working for BASF have skills sets useful to a commodity focused business. These individuals struggle to contribute in a meaningful way to the new value oriented business model.

      Small time player in Ag Biotech market

      Senior scientist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      International corporation with excellent benefits. Potential international travel if you have high enough position.

      Cons

      Total lack of executive diversity. Three reorgs in three years resulted in 14 executive positions staffed with 11 white, male Germans plus one white, male Canadian. Of the other two, one was white, female German. And this was at the new North American HQ for the Ag Biotech division. If you have dreams of advancing, don't spend them here.
