Lack of Professionalism!

Pros

* Flexible timing. * Freedom while working. * Compensation is Ok!

Cons

* The Logistics dept is in a mess. (Customers always complaining) * The Order fulfilment system of the Co is the worst I have seen. * The India branch lacks "Professionalism" in the management of the office. * A total lack of team work and team belonging. Everybody is working in isolation and just for oneself.

Pros

I've only been there for a year and overall Cytec (now Solvay Group) is a great place to work, They offer a good pay - through union - and also have a great benefit package. I'm using the tuition reimbursement program that has proved handy so far.

Cons

Union driven therefore seniority take the forefront in any decisions of advancements!
