Pros

An Industry leader with tons of resources, and an extremely smart / professional workforce. Very strong company values and strong management teams.

Cons

Being so large, lots of bureaucracy which can make it difficult to move up. A little bit old-fashioned / close-minded compared to equivalent US companies. Minimal life/work balance, although that seems to be changing. Either way, they demand a lot and employees seem constantly stressed, overloaded and overworked (more so than others considering that's the situation everywhere). Pay is probably at or slightly above industry average - if you get hired from outside. Pay increases for continuing employees was pretty low, even those with high merit scores.

Pros

Great work environment where you are expected to run your own business unit growing sales and managing expenses. Well respected in the agriculture industry and all customers know at least some of the products before you walk in the door.

Cons

Territories kept getting larger with technology transfer and managing work and attending family school functions and games was sometimes difficult

Pros

Stress level is very low like a state office. Your position is safe and possibility to loosing the job is low.

Cons

Salaries are standard. Carrier opportunities are limited. Rigid company like as State offices. BASF does not appreciate ambitious employees. Be quite and do your job. Do not question the process. Follow the rules and keep calm. Kills your motivation for challenge !!!
