Pros

Company has a vast array of chemicals in support of industry in specialties ranging from cosmetics and personal care, skin care, pharma, and plastics. A nice diverse group of application scientists are real supportive.

Cons

Management is often taken from other successful divisions of the company, often with limited knowledge of the product lines they are held responsible for. A learning curve is slow for the new managers, often hampering team and company growth.

Pros

Specialty chemical company that prides itself in sustainability and innovation. As a co-op, there are many opportunites to travel and contribute greatly to the company. Co-ops really gain insight into what it'd like to be a full-time engineer.

Cons

Rarely long hours are required. Being the on call engineer for your process comes with the responsibility of running batch experiments. Can sometimes be difficult to totally unplug from work.
