Pros

The people I work with is the only "Pro" about Lyondellbasell.

Cons

Micro-management, can't trust any management, Sr. Leadership is terrible, benefits are sub-par, they cut budgets and headcount while increasing leaderships bonus, recruiters are good, but the hr / employees relations people suck at the downtown tower. No teamwork at all with in any group at lyondell, everyday is like a day on survivor island.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
