      Pros

      Solid, successfull, good salaries, intelligent people around. BASF SA contributes a lot for professional development. Things work well and processes are perfectly german established.

      Cons

      HIerachical environment, people cannot say waht they really think - not even the Geramns very known for the critical attitude. Brazilians make the perfect German process a mess, but still better than the average in Brazil. Oldfashion Leaders, strange decisions about people.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very diverse company with a lot of opportunity to learn new things. Management is focused always on employee development.

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic, and with so many employees, sometimes difficult to move things forward and to feel you own contributions. Can be stifling sometimes as ideas sometimes come strictly from headquarters without consideration of effect.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Supports diversity, innovative and creative ideas, work-life balance (allows work from home a couple days per week). Salary is highly competitive and because the company is a well-rounded diversified business, it continues to outperform and grow in the markets/industries they serve. Strong, long-term company stability. Benefits are excellent. Many employees have stayed with the company for their entire careers, high amount of PhDs, MBAs and graduate degrees among young employees.

      Cons

      Very large company and like all companies of this size has difficulties with bureaucracy and quick decisions/responses. Silos exist and breaking down barriers to cross-BU collaboration is slow.
