Pros

Our team celebrated small successes like when we get home on time, because we usually work long hours and we're always stressed!

Cons

Getting burnt out is unavoidable, because aside from the brutal workloads we have, management is toxic to employees!

Ascend Performance Materials Response

The pandemic showed us that work/life balance is important. It's a lesson each of us, including our leaders, are learning during this challenging market. We're sorry your experience felt like you couldn't talk to your manager or an executive leader, but we encourage everyone at Ascend to speak up and help us become better every day. If anyone who is reading this review feels burnt out, please take time off, speak to your manager about what you think your team needs and set boundaries to help create the appropriate work/life balance for you. We realize the necessity of a healthy approach like this and value this feedback. - Osama Khalifa, sr. manager corporate communications
