Pros

-The culture at Eastman is respectful and supportive to team-members, however stressful/ urgent the situation -Exposure to higher level executives is as easy as setting up a lunch appointment with them -Leadership opportunities are plenty and you are encouraged to take them on -As noted in other reviews, Eastman is very committed to work-life balance and they go out of their way to make sure that is maintained -As an international, I can vouch for the company being extremely supportive of different cultures and supportive with immigration requirements as well -Pay packages are competitive, especially when you take into account the low cost of living in Kingsport

Cons

-For some, the pace of work may not be what they are used to, especially, if they are coming from a finance/ tech background -Kingsport is a great place for raising a family. You may want to think twice if you're used to the city life.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
