RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at BASF full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Greatest place in the world to work. Fully committed to the continuing increase of their employees knowledge. Safety is first always not just a slogan, we as a team put safety first . We will not stay in operation without safety. Benefits are the greatest, pay is completive where ever you are located; however, the other compensation is unbelievable. We get 10 days bereavement within your imitate family. Maternity leave for the mother and father same time of paid leave. Retirement ! free financial planning for your retirement.
Cons
People that work at BASF stay until retirement age. People are promoted within the Company causing opening. Constantly changing creating new products and needs for new people. :)
Advice to Management
Keep going in the direction of all inclusion for a sustainable future. Keep listening to the people doing the work. Continue building a safety culture based on sharing knowledge. Knowledge on how to have a first pass quality mindset.

Pros
Very state of the art, innovative company with excellent compensation
Cons
Although Development is encouraged, there are no opportunities here for anyone without an engineering degree or masters. Leadership does not value employees enough to address egotistical management and hierarchy so there is a high turnover.
