Pros

The benefits package is excellent. When it was time to plan for college for our son, we used the benefit "college coach" to help us with the process. I have worked here 12 years and have traveled all over the world and the United States on projects. great personal and professional development

Cons

Mandatory overtime and at times very high stress levels

Thank you for your review. It is great to hear that you are taking advantage of the benefits such as the "college coach". Work-life balance is very important to use and we continue to find new ways to help our employees.

Pros

None. Company name looks good on your future resume?

Cons

Working at the former BASF Catalysts/Engelhard site is a dead end job. Smart employees try to leave as soon as possible to other locations. Turnover at offices and especially R&D is very high. Senior VPs joke why someone would accept an offer here as opposed to a normal outfit like Exxon or DuPont. Everyone below a 5.1 strata (include technicians) are grossly underpaid (by some 15-20k per year). Bonuses, though promised, are not fully delivered even prorated for your first year. Morale at site is terrible--management treats employees as second class citizens and without respect.
