Tons of opportunities, lots of resources, you get to work with new technologies, highly respected company

Cons

Compensation is terrible, performance reviews are outdated process, red tape of a large corporation, it takes forever to get anything accomplished, long hours of work are expected, a bad manager can make or break your experience there,

Pros

Overall a decent place to work in many respects. Reasonably good pay for the work.

Cons

High workload. This, and continued reduction of time to interface with management and availability of services (HR, EHS, etc.), creates a situation where employees must work harder to complete normal duties, and also work harder just to be seen by top management and accurately evaluated and rewarded for performance and accomplishments.

Pros

The company has recently taken strong moves to promote work / life balance and allowed a more flexible work environment. It is a large corporation and it has a full benefits package including matching 401K contributions up to 4% of salary.

Cons

The high performance organization performance reviews / merit salary increases seem focused on justifying inflation level yearly salary increases. I am not sure if it is a downside, but the jobs are posted internally and externally at the same time - and it seems to discount experience within the company. Lastly, nobody seems to have heard of BASF - everyone seems to remember our old tapes division.
