The best place to work - Automation Engineer Clariant Employee Review

Good working culture, gets house allowance during internship period

Payrate is low but manageable in Louisville.

Great exposure to real plant operations and how engineering work impacts reliability, quality, and downtime. Hands-on troubleshooting opportunities—good place to build structured problem-solving skills. Strong process documentation environment (P&IDs/SOPs/LOTO), which helps you learn disciplined engineering practices. Projects feel practical and meaningful, not just “intern work.”

Learning curve: There’s a lot to learn early on (systems, standards, plant terminology), so the first few weeks can feel information-heavy.
