Pros

Despite the changes over the years, the solid core of Lubrizol veterans are good people. Always helpful. Wicked smart. Work/life balance is good - at least in the area that I work. I generally have the tools and resources to do my job.

Cons

We are in the midst of a demoralizing transition. We've shifted from an executive leadership regime that was home-grown, deeply vested, and very personable; the downside was...a clunky organization and stagnation due to lack of clear and timely decisions. Berkshire Hathaway grew impatient with that regime, and has replaced them with executives who are an entirely different crop. They certainly can make decisions, and have streamlined the organization...but seemed to do in a complete vacuum. They do not appear to listen (nor do they ask). Communication is sparse, vague, and comes up short on authenticity. When they do communicate - it makes me cringe. We are bleeding top talent. We've lost enough talent, that it appears to have a pronounced impact on company health. I enjoy what I do, but there is no trust or belief. So many of us are looking to move on.
