Freedom to do the right thing using your insights and conscience
Pros
Across the board, management recognizes special talents and skills and gives one the space to use them. It appreciates a broad range of experience, nationalities, opions and backgrounds. That's what makes it s bubbling place to work. Eastman is an ethical, respectful company which trusts its people's judgement. It lets us to use our judgement and conscience to do what we believe is right, rather than prescribing all the steps as some employers do. We are encouraged to keep learning new things, and there are plenty of training opportunities within the company.
Cons
The various divisions are, well, divided. With all the talent and knowledge we have within Eastman, we could gain so much by working across organisations! We're often too bureaucratic, much of which comes from Kingsport. While meant to reduce risks, it slows us down where we can't afford to be slow. This has an impact both on employees and customers.
