Pros

Great Innovative company. Semi Flexible

Cons

Managers and upper management live in a cloud. There is too much politics and not enough work related concern. That goes from top to bottom. Sad to say there are managers, especially foreign-born who possess PHDs but lack professionalism when it comes to basic communication, safety, feedback and team work. The upper management either is blind or have turned their face. Sad to say all it takes is one 'stupid' mistake of harrasment by these foreigners and then BASF will be in the front page, not because of their hard work but because of these sheer coziness with unprofessionals!! By the way there are managers who are literally working and making contribution and probably that's why the company is what it is. I have seen the company since past 10 years and am ashmed what has become lately by sheer mismangement and poltical attitude of them; running from VP to HR to Managers.
