Pros
I've been with the company for 21 years (mostly as Sigma Aldrich). There have been a number of opportunities available over the years that I've taken advantage of and have been recognized by management. People here are open and want to do a great job. They are willing to help out when needed. Work/Life balance is good, depending on your management Opportunities to work with global colleagues and customers
Cons
The work/life balance is recognized as important to employees, but there are some managers/supervisors that still make it difficult to have a decent balance The salaries are not up to scale with comparable companies. The integration with Merck KGaA is painfully slow. IT systems are not integrated and when updates are pushed out, programs that previously worked now don't.
