Pros

Great people, can do attitude. Good reputation.

Cons

Not sure if cutting costs and fixing only next month is a way to develop professionals for the future. Feels like we are just preparing the company to be acquired, which is fine but you have to wonder what message that sends to employees. Eastman has no clue any more in how to build loyalty with employees, targeting for lay-off very senior employees not ready for retirement gives you a message as a young engineer on how you can expect to be treated when you are 58.

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
