Pros

Good benefits, strong mentor culture in surface chemistry U.S. The best company to work for in comparison to it's peers.

Cons

Losing identity/ successful culture with intense internal focus and over-lapping initiatives. Over-reliance on consultants usurping skilled management leadership. Compensation of employees now 10-15% under the market which is leading to talent drain.
