      Pros

      Lyondell had lots of opportunity and individuals were rewarded adequately; it was not perfect but far better than it is as LyondellBasell.

      Cons

      I enjoyed working for Lyondell and was proud to work there. Since being purchase by Basell the company has spiraled out of control. Senior management is currently lost, the company is bankrupt and employees have no clue what is going on. Most of us learned about the bankruptcy in the papers and days later the company shared it with us. How can a financially healthy company be purchased by an individual who borrows $12Bln with nothing down? He has nothing to lose.

      Pros

      Local company with a nice group of employees that understand each other.

      Cons

      Disastrous management in place since merger. New owner couldn't afford the purchase and bought it anyway. The whole company is tanking because of bad management.

      Pros

      Working for the legacy company Lyondell was the best working environment, a lot of those work ethics has carried over into our current situation, thus still making it a great place to work.

      Cons

      Legacy Basell management are stubborn, unflexible, and seems to make decisions that do not have Lyondellbasell's best interest represented.
