Pros

Above average salary and benefits. Philanthropic gift matching program. Flexible scheduling (within certain limits). Little supervision (in certain departments).

Cons

This is a company that has a dirty little secret- although Lubrizol superficially upholds diversity in the workplace it actually has a heavy conservative Christian culture that has evolved into a "cult-like" atmosphere. If you don't subscribe to the Inner Circle of Faith-Based Fellowship you will have a difficult time working here. Colleagues will alternately attempt to recruit you into "the family" or undermine you and come at you sideways trying to shake you down in an attempt to get you your "walking papers."

Pros

Even with current political tensions, LZ is still allowing cultural programs which support diversity and inclusion throughout the organization. Working in a lab setting and having supportive management that understand work life balance is beneficial as long as the work is getting done. Supportive of using company time to volunteer in community investment. Most employees are supportive and willing to help each out.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Low yearly pay increases, with too much focus on pushing individuals to do more as “personal development”. Health benefit package is limited and costly, vacation promised isn’t always given, too many middle and upper management, with continued turnover before you even know who they are and what they do. Most scientist and engineers have no other working experience besides education and lack experience, which prevents opportunities for innovation. Co-ops have better opportunities than long term full time employees.
