Chemist

Pros

Good experience and start for grads if you have no experience at all as chemist or analyst. Good coworkers who mean to do well and actually help ALOT more than they have to. Had a very good manager who was overworked and underappreciated. Very good to her staff. Which was rare but eventually left. Most of manufacturing staff is nice. Learn Spanish it'll help more than u expect.

Cons

Lots of work, pay is not great. Prepare to be asked to come on weekends once in a while. But if looking for experience it's a stepping stone. Weird model pictures in cafeteria Few of staff might not be helpful so expect to do more than u'd expect but again more experience for something better. Don't expect job growth. Too much "friend" politics to believe it's all merit based and expect a fair shot. Don't be surprised at the discrepancy between paltry academic backgrounds and yet stellar positions. It's "networking"

Pros

The only positive is probably being a multinational company.

Cons

There is a lot that this company needs to change: - They use mercer benchmark for their paygrades. but the job evaluations are done by someone who sits in Corporate HR in Italy and does not have any understanding of the local market. - Transparency and Integrity are their written values which they dont even care about. The culture is gossip culture behind curtains. Who likes who or who does not get along well with who. -your career path depends on who you report to and how close your manager is to Italy. -the only conversation they have is cost saving. there minimum to none employee development plans, trainings etc.

Pros

Hybrid scheduling, impressive clients, some good people who are willing to help

Cons

The office is such a toxic environment that is driving away good employees. If you take a look there are always the same people there while new hires leave after just a few years. No room for growth even though the managers during the interview process tell you otherwise. Promotions and great opportunities are always given to the same people by management which destroys morale.

Pros

I do not see any Pros. I worked with good companies before joining them and after. This company is far behind comparing with any global or local good company.

Cons

Company is run by unprofessional managers (so called) who do not know 'people Management?' And importance of skilled people.

Pros

As a chemist you get to learn a lot about shade matching,which is a skill that cosmetic chemists need! You get to learn about manufacturing processes, work with high end clients. You also get the opportunity to travel abroad.

Cons

You start as a chemist and you will end up as a chemist, unless you get promoted to another department. Too much favoritism. Most Managers are unprofessional. Employees are not rewarded for their good work. Salary not representable to the work that is being done. Managers are not really well trained for their position.
