Pros
Great people to work with for the most part who care about doing a good job.
Cons
I have been with Eastman for many years. For the past few years, top leadership within the company continues to push changes and emphasize performance in a way that clearly indicates the bulk of the workforce does not seem to be valued. Lately there has been a push to emphasize certain HR policies in such a way that there is increasing division across a very large part of the workforce. It is getting increasingly difficult to specially recognize top talent which causes those folks to be disappointed. The obvious focus is a sustained short term strategy to get the stock price up which is something most people definitely desire. In years past, we have attracted lots of professional talent from higher paying jobs in part because they wanted out of a culture that Eastman is now trending towards. One effect is to make it much easier for someone to leave Eastman and go to another employer, since we are losing the culture advantage. A watch out - looking through some other reviews and based on my experience I think that there are quite a few fakes. Also, the company has strongly encouraged employees in the past to do a review on glassdoor.
