Pros

Amazing company, wants to be the best in everything it does, whether that is Engineering, R&D, Customer Care, Sales, HR, etc. Pay is very competitive - bonus has paid out over 100% past several years, benefits are top notch - seriously, you can't find a higher 401(k) employer contribution/match. People are super smart - you'll learn so much. Global organization means lots of opportunities for career development, even international assignments. New CEO is very market-focused, open to new ideas and someone employees are really enjoying as a new leader. BASF is the best kept secret in the market (and I just let it out!)

Cons

Hey, when you have super smart people and a 150 year old company (yes, 150), we can be very deliberate and thoughtful in how we do things. Sometimes it means we're slow to react or make a change. But has your company survived 150 years and is still going strong? :)
