Pros

-Locally, company has a mix of people of all ages that makes for a diverse work place. -Company is flexible with leave time

Cons

- Company structure and information flow/sharing is poor. - Employees who are institutionalised are very resistant to change and negative. - Local operations are sales driven but held back by central R&D - Employee count at local operations are thin. Only have time to fight spot fires.

Pros

The working environment is satisfied. I like to work with colleagues in this department and enjoy share my knowledge to the group.

Cons

My initial job title and salary was low. Although my manager tried to promote me (hope it is true as what he said), but it still can not be proceeded. I don't know why.

The sun sets on Ciba Corporation

Pros

Ciba provided a work environment that respected individual employees. Overall compenstation plus benefits was good. You have to look at the BASF corporation now to determine what the work environment will become; at least though the business will be viable or more viable then under Ciba.

Cons

After 5 years fighting weak sales growth and margin errosion, the Ciba Corporation finally sucumbed during the economic crisis in 2008. A very weak senior management team was not able to influence the direction. The company was purchased by BASF in Q1/2009 and is in the process of being assimilated into this much larger corporation with a new and different corporate culture.
