- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Hybrid flexible work environment. Lots of integration across departments and around the globe. Offer development opportunities and stretch assignments. Strong compensation and benefit package.
Cons
Workload can be heavy at times but can be managed if prioritized well.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good benefits, competitive pay, potential to work within a global team.
Cons
Misogynist culture, where senior leaders allowed to gaslight employees and limit careers without cause. You will often hear that they have a "special sauce", which basically justifies the old guard's love of the status quo.

Pros
Methanex has a great culture made up of very talented and professional team members. I've always had the chance to work on really exciting projects and have been given a lot of new and different opportunities.
Cons
Because of the collaborative nature, it can take time to progress key initiatives.
- Current Employee★★★★★
The system is set up to protect the managers regardless of their performance.
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good benefits, holidays and compensation.
Cons
Immature investigation process, in which the employees are disciplined and/or let go to protect the images of the managers. The managers lack the courageousness to ask the simple question, “what was my role in this event and what can I change that would result in different outcome”. The concept of systemic learning is foreign to the site and senior management in the organization. Managers manage their images, but fail as leaders. Their priority being, what do I need to do to get ahead; rather then how can I clear the ways to make things better and more efficient for my team. Methanex loves to hear about what they are doing well, but “kill the messenger” when negative observations are noted. This often includes, revising root cause findings, changing KPI data, and covering up known issues. Methanes priorities of safety and quality are often placed on the back burner to production and profit. This includes the health and wellness of their employees.
