Pros

This is a great company to work for.

Cons

They unfortunately value black, ethnic, and women more than having the right person for the job. If you fall into either of these categories and say a few key words during interviews, you are guaranteed the job over someone who has way more experience for the job but just doesn't hit key words.

Pros

Most office workers can have bit of flexibility working remotely. Expectation is to be in the office 4 days of the week, but if something comes up and you need to work from home, it’s not a big deal. Finally, some benefits for the actual employees!

Cons

Extremely corporate and self aware as a company. Probably not as many “good ol boy” promotions as there were in recent years; but now apparently, engineers are the only people who can become supervisors, project leaders, and be granted other opportunities. Several people with Geology/Geography/Business Administration/Computer Science/Marketing degrees and holding well over 10 years with the company can’t even get considered for jobs the are heavily involved in those fields because a Chemical Engineer is apparently a more valuable hire to the company when performing the work of a Business Administration role in HR.
