      Pros

      Great benefits. Progressive in their employee resource groups for different cultures and communities. Decent on-boarding process to make sure you are up to speed with the company and your business unit. Always encouraged to innovate and stream line.

      Cons

      Very large company with differences between sites and between countries can be confusing. Restricted access to information that you may be used to having can slow you down. IT isn't the best.

      BASF - Good Company, Great Benefits, Flexible Career, Mediocre Management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent, first class benefits. Good base pay. Work-life flexibility. Career flexibility. Brilliant and smart colleagues. Very stable company overall. Ability to excel in technical arena without moving to management track. Diversity of personality types -- including introverts can succeed. Science is respected. Senior leadership comes from many different disciplines -- company is not just run by marketers or accountants.

      Cons

      Poor incentive compensation. Self-driven careers and career flexibility mean that people and often move into roles for which they are ill-prepared and get stuck there. Need to drive own career means that senior roles are often filled with people who are self-promoters. Employees are functional with high walls between functions -- people are not expected to be business people. Ex-pat assignments (delegations) are very restrictive and not very lucrative. Germans still dominate the company.

      Pros

      Very good with career development, management listens to employees.

      Cons

      Everything is very bureaucratic. There's a lot to do that is not your main job, which takes a lot of time.
