Pros

Good Salary, Good working conditions, Good buro material (PC, Software, Mobile, Desk).

Cons

Too much burocracy (in increasing after BASF take over Engelhard), Some departments are outside the global management. Many managers are taking care of their own interest and looking for their future in the company rather than the future of the company

Pros

Pay well. Good benefits. Good Bonus pay outs for project work. Good Internal career movement if you are in the right location. Good internal training and development programs including recognised certifications.

Cons

Lack of professionalism and poor communication in dealing with people in remote locations (i.e. not HQ), defensive practices between businesses and services - blame game going on. Conflicts between Regional US HQ and Corporate HQ in Germany. Very German like practices - do as your are told rather then invite challenges and creativity.
