      The Lanxess Dilemma

      Is consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Less than 10 % of employees are overworked (i.e more than 8 hrs/day to accomplish daily tasks). Customer service is the one area where employees put in long hours (>8) per day to accomplish their daily tasks. This is very little travel for employees unless they are part of the next SAP implentation or part of senior management.

      Cons

      Wage freezes for 2009 and personnel reductions continuing since 2008. Sales are down and planned production outages are scheduled to compensate during the economic downturn. More and more responsibilites are being moved to the German parent which further reduces security oan moral of US based employees.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overall a good company but lot of politics in the IT department

      Cons

      1.Horrible intra- department politics 2. Selfish/rude people, no respect for an employee at all 3. No work life balance whatsoever 4. Team leads/Managers will insult you in front of a crowd to prove their prominence 5. Compelled to work for 14-15hrs a day, and if you don't ..immediately compared with other employees who do 6. Mistreated if you are on a lower position 7. TL/Managers are constantly demeaning employees and being good in front of their bosses 8. If you leave office on time, it is considered you aren't dedicated towards your work 9. In some teams you aren't allowed to go for a coffee break as well, treated worse than school children 10. Good work not appreciated 11. TOXIC work environment/culture 12. These people brag alot about their "so called Lanxess culture/values" but the managers/TLs itself do not follow them when time comes 13. Sometimes managers force employees to work on the day an employee has applied for a leave, despite of work not being very urgent Working in a much smaller organization would be better than working here and disturbing your peace of mind
