Pros

BASF Catalysts is division of the largest chemical company in the world. BASF values innovation and science and its large size provides alot of opportunities.

Cons

The company is veray large and moves slowly. Although BASF Catalysts is located in the U.S., BASF is very much a German company and there appears to be a non-German glass ceiling in the company. Although English is the "company Language" it is not uncommon for management to break off into private German discussions in the middle of meetings which tends to excluded non German speakers.

Pros

Great benefits, hybrid & remote roles, great colleagues to work with. Great vacation /time off. Helpful colleagues

Cons

Reorganizations (roughly 3 years), IT roles dwindling in North America(moving to India), teams can get very silo-ed, “not my role” = not helping you (when you are looking for answers/assistance), currently seeing a lot of movement out of New Jersey (roles moving to other parts of the country), some organizational charts can be confusing, huge organization(can be difficult at times pinpointing the exact team you may need to work with)
