Pros

Very little left that is considered a pro. Most of the actual talent has left or is looking to leave. Pay is close to competitive. Benefits falling below the competition and home life balance - JOKE!

Cons

Lack of respect for anyone who came from one of the legacy companies. Forced ranking for bonus, which leves little room for anyone to care about really working hard as it does not really pay off. Its still the good old boy network. The executives need to get their hands out of the cookie jar and somebody needs to watch the shop.

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
