BASF BEST PLACE TO WORK

Pros

Greatest place in the world to work. Fully committed to the continuing increase of their employees knowledge. Safety is first always not just a slogan, we as a team put safety first . We will not stay in operation without safety. Benefits are the greatest, pay is completive where ever you are located; however, the other compensation is unbelievable. We get 10 days bereavement within your imitate family. Maternity leave for the mother and father same time of paid leave. Retirement ! free financial planning for your retirement.

Cons

People that work at BASF stay until retirement age. People are promoted within the Company causing opening. Constantly changing creating new products and needs for new people. :)

Pros

BASF provides it's employees with benefits to a level I have not seen in other organizations. The 401k match is better than I have ever seen, vacation time is better than the national average, flexible work from home schedules are available in many positions and the general atmosphere among other employees is positive

Cons

It is a large company so it can take a long time to get some things done in the organization. Some positions require a lot of travel, so it can be difficult for people with families, but the job descriptions are usually accurate when it comes to specified travel.

NEVER AGAIN

Pros

Good benefits and comparable pay. Good pit stop to quickly learn and stepping stone to next opportunity. A good place for career advancement ONLY if you’re part of the club.

Cons

They communicate a culture of growth and work life balance. The work life balance is your owned by you as an employee and is achievable. Otherwise, this is a place where careers go to die a slow and agonizing death. Everyone has left each and every division to find growth and opportunities to learn. Company is filled with a cancerous culture of politics and bad treatment of employees in every level.
