      Cabot Corp is a great company that embraces innovation and is very supportive of its employees

      Pros

      The people are very supportive and eager to share their knowledge with each other. It is very common for R&D and other technical personnel to share their work with the business-side employees and vice versa. Management is very open without micro-managing. Most importantly, safety is the most important value and is embedded in Cabot's culture. Most employees have been there well over five years, which is a testament to overall satisfaction.

      Cons

      While it is good to strive to be the best, sometimes business targets, of which bonuses are based on, can be very aggressive

      Pros

      Strong commitment to corporate values and great people to work with

      Cons

      Corporate is out of touch. Cabot needs to catch up to the 21st century.

      Some potential growth for the company--most of which is at the expense of the employees.

      Pros

      Interesting work with smart people. Company is big, but still small enough to have an impact. There are a lot of people who have been here over a decade who bring stability to the day-to-day life.

      Cons

      The company is lean. The work expected by senior management far outpaces the resources dedicated to staff it. There is a VERY limited opportunity for advancement except in a couple of functions. Salaries are average to below average for the area. Retirement benefits are in the process of being cut significantly. The benefit cut will probably lead to a lot of turnover and disruption.
