Pros

Very Good Benefits and work life balance

Cons

I agree with the previous poster. The hiring practices are completely discriminatory. They primarily hire millennial's recruited from specific non-diverse universities and bring them in at the salary of a 20yr employee. If they wanted to honestly diversify the company, they would open up diverse leadership programs to internal candidates. While they advertise their recruitment numbers; they do advertise their minority retention numbers because we fly outta here for a more inclusive work environment.

BASF Response

Thank you for your post and your interest in BASF. At BASF, we have a number of strong programs that speak to our authentic commitment to diversity and inclusion. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. If you would like to discuss the specific circumstances behind your concern, I encourage you to contact me, Patricia Rossman, Chief Diversity Officer.
