      BASF is a well-run successful company with a long history. The benefits are excellent and the company has shown a real interest in its employess, both in the way of compensation and development. It is an exciting and enjoyable place to work. There are many opportunities to move acroos function and between business groups, and this is encouraged. Your development is in your hands. Opportunity exists to travel all over the world.

      Cons

      Like any large company, BASF can be slow moving, but there has been continuous improvement in this area over the past 5 years.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Supports diversity, innovative and creative ideas, work-life balance (allows work from home a couple days per week). Salary is highly competitive and because the company is a well-rounded diversified business, it continues to outperform and grow in the markets/industries they serve. Strong, long-term company stability. Benefits are excellent. Many employees have stayed with the company for their entire careers, high amount of PhDs, MBAs and graduate degrees among young employees.

      Cons

      Very large company and like all companies of this size has difficulties with bureaucracy and quick decisions/responses. Silos exist and breaking down barriers to cross-BU collaboration is slow.
