Pros

Good support for training and providing tools to get the job done. Plenty of travel opportunities to interact with customers and overseas colleagues.

Cons

Mature portfolio of products, labored innovation process and reaction from competitors will hinder the CEO's goal to morph the company into a genuine specialty chemical company.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
