Pros
People care about others. Can give you a lot of responsibility early on in career. Gentle culture, even big mistakes are dealt with softly. Office based role straight from PhD. Fine if work is transactional for you and an equation of time in, money out. Diverse range of science backgrounds amongst colleagues. A good first job.
Cons
Stagnant R&D, slow paced, rigid, uninspiring and conservative culture. Company is struggling to diversify beyond declining lubricant and fuels markets, which are declining. Company lacks vision and direction from leadership. Incapable of bold action. Company suffers from navel-gazing and group-think. Colleagues lack diversity of prior experience - too many colleagues have only worked at Infineum. Mood in the company seems to have dropped significantly in the past year.
