Pros

A good company with a decent benefits program. The work force community is overall dedicated and care about their work. Safety is big at Cabot and they try to involve everyone in one way or another. The hours were flexible and most managers were pretty good about work time and family. I enjoyed my time at Cabot and had excellent managers over the years.

Cons

Not sure that upper management is in tune to what is happening on the lower levels and almost appears not to want to either.

Pros

The company has been around since the 1800's. I love being part of the history of an enduring enterprise. The people I work with are largely collaborative, friendly, intelligent, self-motivating, and hard working.

Cons

The is a sense of being entirely disposable. In my experience, requests for a simple change in supervision have been ignored for years. Associates are placed on projects without consideration of their education or skill sets. For example, a chemical engineer might be given a synthesis project despite the availability of a chemist. I feel like a pair of hands. Transparency does not seem to be a goal at Cabot - from org charts, promotion ladders, internal data on our own products - you name it... we ask, they pretend to "work on" getting it for us, more of us quit in frustration, and ultimately, nothing changes.
