Pros

there a lot of talented people in all functions and many levels who are cooperative and great to work with as well as the space is very interesting to technical people in specialty chemical field. Product develpers will enjoy a diverse and great set of equally talented customers.

Cons

This company has some of the most arrogant and self adsorbed leadership I've ever seen. A few are out right verbal bullies to their peers, teams and others around them. While there are a few really sharp and talented leaders most are extremely weak and back fight with each other often and in public view of the employees. The are smart enough but so focused on themeselves that it negatively impacts team performance broadly. The facilities are old and tired and need serious upgrades especially waterford site. Safety performance is not outstanding by any measure though measure were being taken to improve. Not a leader in the market space with but a few exceptions. Often under re-organization. Maybe 4 times over 5 year span. Moral is generally poor but is site dependent. Not a healthy work environment.

Pros

Friendly colleagues and flexible hours.

Cons

As an international company with employees working in different time zones, it sometimes gets difficult to communicate with colleagues. This may sometimes lead to unusual office hours.

Pros

-There are no positive benefits to this site. -If you're fresh out of school and desperately need a job, they're always hiring. -Union employee's want to do the right thing but get no support.

Cons

-This is a dying business, and therefore there is no investment. -Worst corporate and local management I have ever seen. -Very unsafe, -Different rules for different people. -Want you to come in off hours just to make the management feel good. -Last in all metrics. -Corporate HR lies, and got arrested. -Dirty because their dust collector is inefficient and under sized. -Senior positions are boomers that just want to coast.
