Pros

The people are nice and it's hybrid.

Cons

I worked at this company for a significant period, and unfortunately, my experience was largely negative due to the lack of effective leadership and poor human resources practices. Management consistently demonstrated poor communication, favoritism, and a reactive rather than proactive approach to problem-solving. There was little to no support for employee development, and feedback was often dismissed or ignored. The HR department was equally disappointing—unresponsive, disorganized, and more focused on protecting upper management than supporting employees. Concerns about workplace culture and employee well-being were brushed aside, creating a toxic environment with low morale and high turnover. This company has potential, but until they address their internal issues and invest in genuine leadership and HR reform, I would not recommend it to professionals seeking a healthy and growth oriented workplace.

Pros

I had a very positive experience working at Bakelite Synthetics. One of company's greatest strengths is its people. The teams are highly knowledgeable, collaborative and genuinely committed to driving results. The company provides strong exposure to chemical manufacturing operations. I had the opportunity to work on complex projects including ERP transitions and cross functions collaborations, which significantly strengthen my FP&A capabilities. Leadership encourages cross function trainings and provides meaningful opportunities to contribute to impactful projects. Environment creates strong professional growth for those who are proactive. Overall Bakelite offers a dynamic environment for individuals who value teamwork, growth and operational excellence.

Cons

As in many growing organizations, teams may operate lean at times.
