Business outlook
Pros
Large company with a lot of different processes. Enough work to keep someone busy for an entire career. Plenty of advancement opportunities. Comparable compensation. Collaborative work environment.
Cons
Shifted from commodity chemical company to specialty chemical company resulted in successive rounds of layoffs to hit specialty "growth rate". Company became more corporate like after Costa took over, less about the people that make it happen and more about just money. Only way to move out of a bad fitting job is to over perform, but you are more likely to be discouraged and underperform in that situation.
