Hello dear colleague, in light of the current situation and following advisories from authorities on restricting non-essential travel and meetings; we are putting our employees’ health and safety first. Hence, we had initiated complete Work from Home for all employees in the Andheri office beginning April 2021 and we will continue to do so till the current situation doesn’t get better. Furthermore, the situation has been challenging with multiple lockdowns, hence when the lockdown restriction was eased in the past year, a few of the lab colleagues for their own safety were split into two teams, who worked on rotation from Monday to Saturday. Those were exceptional circumstances and hopefully, the situation will get better, post-vaccination and we will go back to our regular working schedules. In the interim, please feel free to contact us directly at employerbranding@evonik.com for any feedback, queries or suggestions. Thank you and we wish you all the best. Your Evonik Team.

Pros

Pay is good, bonuses are low, benefits have decreased every year Lunch in cafeteria is great Shift relief time was good, had enough time after work to be with family We sure miss Bonnie out there , she’s great.

Cons

Micromanaging - Extreme lack of trust Overall morale for the whole site is way down starting from 2018 Bias Backstabbing Incompetency - certain employees promoted to next level without actually knowing or understanding the process No work life balance, we’re told that doesn’t apply to production workers. Overtime hours avg 400-700 hours a year No room for employee growth or thoughts on process productivity/troubleshooting acknowledged if you’re not in the clique 3-2-2-3 shift schedule swapping from nights to day each time led to overall fatigue. Needs to be 2 weeks of nights and 2 weeks of days. HR is an overall joke, they used to be superb until COVID and the new site manager. Preach safety but turn a blind eye when it’s convenient to reach production. Then fault the operators or maintenance personnel if something happens.
