Pros

If you like working for a non-diverse, bro-vibe, fraternity style workplace without an HR department, you might just love it here!

Cons

The CEO has a team of lawyers on hand ready to hand out lawsuits as frequently as possible so I’m not going to list every con here. If you can avoid working for this company, I highly recommend steering clear. I’ve worked for a few companies throughout my lifetime and this has been my worst experience ever.

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
