Pros

The people I work with is the only "Pro" about Lyondellbasell.

Cons

Micro-management, can't trust any management, Sr. Leadership is terrible, benefits are sub-par, they cut budgets and headcount while increasing leaderships bonus, recruiters are good, but the hr / employees relations people suck at the downtown tower. No teamwork at all with in any group at lyondell, everyday is like a day on survivor island.

Pros

The pay is good and even better when you work lots and lots of overtime. There have been some great leaders in this company with progressive ideas and open doors. However,

Cons

The talented management has been pushed aside for the "yes" guys and the morale of the company has nose-dived. HR is non-existent, Senior Management makes empty promises and the majority of the employees are scratching their heads wondering where it's all going.... Middle Management is moved every two years to advance their careers leaving the lower ranks having to prove themselves over and over. These guys are trying to Micromanage when they don't have a clue about the processes. There are a lot of comments here from Engineers and other work groups but not many from the Technicians who are really driving the bus.
