Pros

In the Texas facilities, there’s plenty of work and opportunity to make an impact. Plenty of problems to be solved, units to support, people to meet, groups to join. The company lacks detailed structure, which means it is up to the individual to impose their own structure. Definitely a historical good old boys culture, but a lot of young people entering this company and it is changing very quickly. A small big company with dozens of sites in the US. Lots of opportunities to move around as a chemical engineer, a little bit less in all the other roles.

Cons

The company is lean, there is so much to be done and not enough engineering support. That being said, they are expanding and hiring new roles so things are changing.

Pros

Great company and good people. Good benefits. Good quality culture.

Cons

As with many jobs, there are some more difficult jobs where it is hard to retain good people. As an example, there are several entry/medium level positions that are critical but do not pay well.

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.
