Pros

Didn’t see anything because filled with politics

Cons

We’ve noticed a lot of partiality in WFH rules across GSS. The finance team is allowed to work from home from anywhere they want, but for the Business Services team, there’s unnecessary strictness—especially if we go to our hometowns. This is creating a lot of frustration, and many people have left the org because of such toxic politics. The Business Services manager is making the workplace very negative, and it’s evident to everyone. On top of that, most of our team leads (like COE or Supply Chain leads) don’t even know the process properly. They’re just there for name sake—we don’t see any value in reporting to them. We are more than ready to report directly to stakeholders or even local leaders (like the Supply Chain leader for India). This way, work will be smoother, and we won’t need unnecessary layers of management who don’t add any value. This is affecting team morale badly, and if this continues, more people will leave. Request you to look into this seriously and make fair policies for all teams.

Pros

Friendly colleagues and flexible hours.

Cons

As an international company with employees working in different time zones, it sometimes gets difficult to communicate with colleagues. This may sometimes lead to unusual office hours.

Pros

I'm one week into my journey at Momentive Performance Materials, and I couldn't be happier with how things have started. The onboarding process has been incredibly smooth—well-organized, supportive, and thoughtfully paced. I’ve transitioned from my previous role without feeling overwhelmed or anxious, which speaks volumes about the culture here. The corporate HQ is a fantastic place to work. My desk setup is comfortable and well-equipped, and the environment is clean, modern, and welcoming. Everyone I've met so far has been warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. There's a real sense of community and collaboration. Bonus points for the cafeteria—it offers good food and a nice space to recharge during the day. Overall, I’m excited about what’s ahead and feel confident I’ve joined a company that values its people and sets them up for success.

Cons

Coming from a hybrid work environment, I initially had some hesitation about being on-site five days a week. However, it’s actually been a refreshing change. Being at corporate HQ has helped me build relationships faster, get face time with colleagues, and feel more connected to the company culture. The workspace is comfortable, the people are welcoming, and the cafeteria is a great perk—it’s made the transition smoother than I expected.
