Pros

global roles (have been posted in different parts of the US; was eligible for global assignment) challenging project work (because the company is relatively lean, it makes the employees wear multiple hats nd do different roles at the same time, opportunity to build your resume is good in the short term friendly co-workers (folks are supportive and want to make sure that everyone works together cohesively as a team and share responsibilities)

Cons

strategic confusion (too many changes in vision and strategy resulting in confusion down the line) bankruptcy baggage (having gone thru a painful chapter 11 filing, the credibility of upper management is low) bonus uncertainty (while salaries are around median for the industry, there is always uncertainty abut the extent of bonus and whether it will improve year-over-year)

Pros

The work schedule is very accommodating for young working families. Solutia also provides doors for people that want to pursue next level business opportunities for the future. Solutia is a very solid company to work for in today's job market.

Cons

The number one downside at my Solutia job site is that there are to many management - employee blood relationships, which causes management to make counter productive and unequal business decisions based on feelings rather than facts. This at many times creates an unsafe and hostile atmosphere on the job site between employees and some members of management.
