      Great business, terrible culture

      Pros

      Nice campus and flex hours. ERP system/data is really good data despite all the complaining about how difficult the system is.

      Cons

      Politics, bureaucracy, job silos, status quo or worse is acceptable. Policies that don't make sense are rarely changed because "that is how it has been done in the past". Performance isn't properly rewarded.

      Limited opportunity if you want to develop your career

      Pros

      Good retirement package and a place which may have an opportunity to change job scope which you have no prior knowledge of in US and UK.

      Cons

      Management has disassociated themselves from the actual market, competitive market and their ground force, coming up what they think is right, but everything else do not think they are. Career Development wise, they have already mind sight who they wanted and provide all resources to those individuals... the rest are not given opportunities to develop

      "Too many" excellent opportunities

      Pros

      Sounds strange, but there really are too many ways that the company could grow given the vast amount of technical and commercial expertise we have. While that also presents challenges (where to prioritize, and how), the company is fantastic for allowing people to explore new areas of opportunity. Similarly, the peer-to-peer interaction is excellent on an individual level, from the general level of helpfulness and friendly attitudes, to the expectation of peer coaching and "see it, say it" that has been fostered over the past several years.

      Cons

      Organizationally, there is gap in what is said at the top management level, to what is experienced by those from upper-middle management on down. In part, that may be a function of having a very hierarchical organization, rather than a very flat one. There are a number of silos that exist which drive decision making in a way that is not always what's best for Lubrizol, but rather what is best for that silo. Similarly, while there is great peer support and interaction, there seems to be a great deal of barrier-setting on the part of managers to prevent team members from getting too involved outside of their narrow realm of contribution, which can demotivate some of the more helpful and productive employees.
