Pros

Used to be a great place to work, used to have the resources needed, used to have the people we needed to get things accomplished used to be allowed to make necessary purchases to get our jobs done we used to have competitive and employee centered benefits.

Cons

They have cut everywhere just to make Uncle Warren happy. Oh you made a billion dollars in profit last year? Okay let's slash all of your site services and try to make a few extra million... Oh you're having a hard time recruiting? Let's slash the benefits package and make it even harder. Management is hamstrung by the LELT "Lubrizol executive leadership team" who are the only ones moving anywhere in the company. Career growth is stagnant, salary growth lags so far behind inflation I'm basically making the same amount as when I started almost 2 decades ago with several promotions under my belt.

Pros

Even with current political tensions, LZ is still allowing cultural programs which support diversity and inclusion throughout the organization. Working in a lab setting and having supportive management that understand work life balance is beneficial as long as the work is getting done. Supportive of using company time to volunteer in community investment. Most employees are supportive and willing to help each out.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Low yearly pay increases, with too much focus on pushing individuals to do more as “personal development”. Health benefit package is limited and costly, vacation promised isn’t always given, too many middle and upper management, with continued turnover before you even know who they are and what they do. Most scientist and engineers have no other working experience besides education and lack experience, which prevents opportunities for innovation. Co-ops have better opportunities than long term full time employees.
