      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast paced environment; good cross-functional cooperation across departments; Compensation is very good (pay, 401k match, and bonus), especially for a smaller city.

      Cons

      Inflexible work schedule; long hours (evenings and weekends with short notice) were frequently required. Upper management changed frequently and did not seem to be effective.

      Strong Company - Troubled Nth. American Goldschmidt Unit

      Product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      [Comments in relationship to Goldschmidt Chemical] German organization has depth and technical competence.

      Cons

      Degussa (Parsippany) has a strong management staff. The Goldschmidt unit (Hopewell VA) is very poor and suffers from an incomplete assimilation by Evonik/Degussa. Goldschmidt operations in the Americas and Europe operation independently from Degussa. A double-standard exists for north american employees - advancement is reserved for German expatriates. Americans have little/no advancement opportunity. Most decisions are structured to benefit the business units in Germany - for example, transfer pricing and local pricing is set to manage german production unit's profitability. This is o.k., except that American managers remain responsible for local profitability without having authority.
