Pros

Largest chemical company in the world Very diverse portfolio Many job opportunities (if you are lucky) Opportunities abroad. Can be innovative at times

Cons

Site to site can have completely different cultures. Management is inconsistent and your career will depend on whether you end up with one of the good managers. Managers will try to hold onto top employees at all costs and will do little to develop you.
