      Summer intern at BASF

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Worked at crop protection R&D as an intern. Overall it was a great place to work. The colleagues were productive and friendly. Even as an intern, the work I was assigned was of high importance and interesting. I was given full access to seminars, group discussions, meetings and online resources within the company. Work-life balance was great. The company frequently organized activities for employees outside of work hour.

      Cons

      The compensation for interns was limited.

      Pros

      Good consideration of work-life balance; company values innovation; compensation well in line with industry standards; opportunities for personal/professional development exist; international

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic, and very German. Can be difficult to advance without a solid knowledge of the language.

      Safe and fair but stagnant, inflexible and frustrating

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good job security, fair chances to secure funding for projects, genuine interest in future of company at most staff levels, realistic expectations of work loads.

      Cons

      Inflexible work attitudes, highly ethnocentric (male-German) perspectives, surprising tolerance for superficial platitudes ("managerese"), poor support for career changers in most departments. Uninspiring and often unprofessional management style. No genuine interest in real further education for staff. Arrogant #1 attitude in many departments. Very old fashioned company culture. Ridiculously fickle bonus system.
