Abnormally high engineer turnover rate well known throughout the plant, subpar technical training, lack of teamwork in several areas, extensive overtime for salaried workers, nonexistent work-life balance, bad workplace culture, problems with communication throughout the plant, gross inconsistencies on following policies & procedures, assigning evolving tasks not benefiting plant or company, thick office politics, high tendency to suppress innovation.

Pros

I really loved working for Arkema. They are a very fair company (sometimes a but too liberal with work/life balance, i.e. taken advantage of) and treat employees very well. The work, although repetitive, was interesting.

Cons

The manager that hired me was great. Then he moved up and I got a manager that "knew everything" and shot down almost any idea I had. His boss was pretty unfriendly and expected miracles in order to promote/give out raises. This is pretty typical of any company, you just wait for bad mangers to move on, or you move on if you can't take it. I moved on.

Pros

Great people Great opportunities Willing to give more responsibility/grow Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work

Cons

Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue
