Pros

Competitive pay, good benefits, nice bonuses, a lot of talented employees. If you work for one of the larger sites, there is room to advance and a good work life balance

Cons

Very difficult to get anything done. The bureaucracy is ridiculous. The IT department is awful. If you work for a smaller site, or a recent acquisition, there are not enough resources and a lot of unrealistic expectations

Pros

Benefits and Bonus are excellent. Plenty of training opportunities.

Cons

Acquired companies and their are many are not treated the same as direct employees of BASF. Some supervisors judge the work merits of an employee from somewhere other than the location the worker is working. BASF assumes that an acquired company already knows the BASF way of operation. Some employees are left to learn things on their own with very little or no support.

Pros

Great benefits package. 5% match on 401k plus an additional 5% contributed even if you don't put any money in. Full tuition reimbursement as long as it applies to your job or a potential position you could go to within BASF.

Cons

Very structured system for promotions and raises. Needs some work to ensure that management doesn't seem like they're not telling their employees everything.
