Horrible culture and management

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free parking, some decent people

Cons

Horrible “managers”, HR managers in positions of authority because of their personal relationships and not their experience. Culture focuses on innovation yet the management is too egotistical to realize where the real problems are. Certain pet employees of upper management are rewarded and promoted for their yes master attitude while those who work hard are overlooked.

Covestro Response

Although your words are certainly not the ones we’d most like to hear, we think it’s important to gain insights from all perspectives. As you indicate that you are current (and longtime) employees, we’d love the opportunity to talk more with about your specific concerns, and to work with you to find ways to address them.
