Pros

It paid very well, especially for a first co-op. The people were very kind and always willing to help. I enjoyed the family-like atmosphere at work.

Cons

The job was not very interesting or challenging. I felt as if I could have accomplished much more, but was not permitted to do so.

Working 10 hours a day for 4 days a week can be difficult at first, but it is nice having a 3 day weekend.

LyondellBasell is a great opportunity, assuming they can survive bankruptcy with the majority of assets intact.

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a highly diverse global company that recognizes a work-life balance. Overall, the people are intelligent and considerate. The culture is one of collaboration and global focus. In my role, I work with people in Europe almost as often as people inside the United States. While collaboration is important to the company, there is also a high value on innovation from individuals. This environment seems to be the first one I have been in that has a nice balance of both individual performance and collaboration. Finally, there is a good ability to move through different roles within the organization. For example, if your background can support a move from IT to Supply Chain, then that can happen here.

Cons

The company is currently in Bankruptcy due to a failed merger. No one knows what the ultimate result will be and it is evolving daily.
