Pros

Good benefits, flexible work schedule, easy commute, good projects

Cons

Management is a mess. There is a huge wall between the people that make decisions and the people that perform the work. Management believes that project info should be told on a need to know basis and the monkeys in the lab/plant don't need to know. Minimal opportunity for career advancement.

Pros

Cabot is a company driven by the pursuit of excellence. It generally provides employees with the best equipment and best resources available. There are a lot of very talented people within the company. Overall, Cabot has the feel of a much smaller company than it is. I personally have been treated very well.

Cons

Recently, Cabot seems to be heading down the same road as our competitors. They are running to failure and buying the cheapest replacement equipment available. Experienced people have been either leaving the company or driven out by incompetent managers who don't listen to the experienced people around them. If the company is going to turn this trend around it will need to develop and promote the right people from within.
