      Solid company with common-sense management

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most admired chemical company in the world, sensible long-term strategy, likely to be a profitable company in the long-run, due to its size unlikely to be taken over by another company.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is compromised (varies across different companies within the Group). Salaries especially in Germany tend to be rather ungenerous due to its dominant size in the region.

      Very stable but somewhat inflexible

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Clear strategy and willingness to stick to that strategy. Big, global player that still treats its employees like family ("Aniliner"). Salary and beneifts for permanent employees are good.

      Cons

      If you are not German or do not speak the language, communicating with corporate HQ in Germany can be challenging. Also, very hierarchical decision making processes which hinder success in markets where flexibility is required. Internal job market is frozen below Vice President level.

      Safe job, standard income, less stress

      Product manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stress level is very low like a state office. Your position is safe and possibility to loosing the job is low.

      Cons

      Salaries are standard. Carrier opportunities are limited. Rigid company like as State offices. BASF does not appreciate ambitious employees. Be quite and do your job. Do not question the process. Follow the rules and keep calm. Kills your motivation for challenge !!!
