Pros

Great atmosphere of freedom - nobody's on your way if you want to challenge the status quo. Openness, transparency are highly appreciated and put into practice. You have the chance to travel a lot - personally I find this an amazing trait. Several learning opportunities.

Cons

Structure, rules and policies are useful. Sometimes managers - with a swiss/german management style - tend to overdo on those. Too much of a structure slows your work down.

Pros

Flexible work hours, laid back, if coming from a larger organization you have a ton of low hanging fruit to capture on in terms of process development, standardization, etc.

Cons

Clariant is a perfect example of a Euro-centric company that has no accountability in any other regions. Large Supply Chain org in Europe (at least for my BU) and only one FTE in each region managing everything. They're moving towards moving operational/transactional roles to a service organization in India - Customer service, Master data, logistics support. In addition, there is zero accountability for anyone at Clariant. People go months and years without accomplishing anything and there is ZERO growth for anyone who desires to move quickly. Pay is below average. They will likely also shut the Charlotte NC office down with this new Huntsman Clariant merger.
