Brewer Science Reviews

This company runs by the seat of its pants. There is no communication and no accountability. If you don't have a PhD, don't expect to get treated with respect. This company has a very elitist type attitude towards people with PhDs. If you don't have your PhD, you're just a 'pair of hands.' The salaries listed here are for people with their PhD. Don't be fooled into thinking that Brewer Science is competitive with other companies in terms of salary-it's at least 20-25% below average in terms of pay. The attitude around Brewer Science seems to be very disgruntled.

The departments have poor communication - when a problem comes back from a customer, there is a lot of infighting and finger-pointing as to who is to blame. Promotions tend to happen more often to those who become friends with their boss, and quick promotion also means that there are a lot of managers with little to no experience actually managing an employee. This can be frustrating to new employees, looking for a mentor. The female-to-male ratio is very poor in the chemistry and engineering departments - in a team of twenty chemists and chemical engineers, it is not uncommon to find only one or two females.
