Pros

Lyondellbasell is very committed to safety. There are many long term employees. Employees for the most part are very friendly.

Cons

When it was Lyondell, the company was very much committed to its employees. Now there is very little commitment to employees. Since the beginning of the bankruptcy, it has become a fear driven culture, with very little concern for the overall welfare of its people.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
