Pros

Good salary and benefits. Some good employees (but also some horrible ones). Downtown location. Evidence that this used to be a great company to work for. Some good systems and processes in place.

Cons

Poor IT management and leadership. Outsourcing to non-US and non-EU countries more and more comment. Demands on employees can be extremely high and management doesn't care if you work yourself to exhaustion. Some excellent talent left the company because of overall poor working conditions and lack of support from mid-and executive level management.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
