      Pros

      I have worked at the company for 3 years and the best thing about the job is the people that I work with on a daily basis. I work with a lot of great people who are smart and talented. There appears to be opportunity for development and movement into other roles. There is pretty good work/life balance.

      Cons

      Boy's club atmosphere (at least in my department), and difficult to get promoted if you don't have a PhD or a chemical engineering degree. Upper management is dysfunctional and some are completely out of touch with how the work actually gets done. Communication and teamwork between departments needs improvement. I feel that the company has gotten too big to be efficient.

      Pros

      Car allowances, benefits are standard.

      Cons

      The worst toxic culture ever. Politics, VPs are from cosmos, with some great people, but my boss was and American lady, who had constantly issues with everyone. I cannot believe how she got this job, but such toxic person poisons the whole department. I quit my job because of her style. I regret i have not recorded my meetings with her....
