RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at INVISTA full-time for more than a year
Pros
The company has a good culture. I always felt free to experiment and pursue projects without micromanagement. Invista cares about employee development and satisfaction. Roles are very flexible, and management is open to role changes if you feel you can create more value in another capacity.
Cons
In my experience, the cons are very limited. The company has historically had some old-fashioned views on WFH flexibility and PTO, but with recent changes (such as a month of paid parental leave), that seems to be improving.
Hello, thank you for all of the hard work and taking the time to share with us your feedback/review. I am happy to read that you are finding the culture to be supportive in not only your current work but also in pursuing and learning new skills/knowledge as well. Please know that I am going to be sharing this with the appropriate teams as feedback. Thank you again! – Molly from Talent Solutions

Pros
9/80s...whoops! Guess there are none any longer.
Cons
Too all encompassing to list, and many spelled out in previous reviews are very true. High turnover, especially among engineers, is a symptom of a larger issue with management, not a cause of the systemic issues, which do exist as well. Management is a joke, and there in name only. It's taken several years after escaping to realize how unhealthy the environment is there, and absolutely is not and should not be the norm. Being belittled and micromanaged would be one thing if there were ancillary perks and pay, but after dangling the return of 9/80s (an area standard) and maintaining uncompetitive pay, there's no excuse. Anyone who thinks any job is better than none should heed this: I felt actively discouraged and questioned my choice of career after joining here straight out of school. Now that I've escaped and realize how unusual and damaging that environment is, I've finally started to flourish and thoroughly enjoy work. It's time I can never get back, but I'm grateful that I know exactly what and who to avoid in my career in the future.

Pros
Overtime if you want it
Cons
They say they work by the MBM Principles, which on a good day is a joke. They only do it when it's to their advantage. Bullying management style. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

"I'd look elsewhere"
Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at INVISTA full-time
Pros
Decent healthcare benefits that come with every large-sized company that can be self-insured, relatively decent paying (although they have to pay a bit more to entice people to work in Kennesaw)
Cons
The office felt like a throwback to an era I thought had died out. Very strict hours and dress code, old technology and absolutely nothing to aid the employee experience while in the office. Everyone lived and died by the words in "Good Profit", it was carried around like a bible. They claim to want healthy disagreement in the name of finding the best overall answer, yet if you actually push back against the same old ideas, you will get a talking to with HR present. There are some smart people around, but they don't usually make it to leadership before jumping ship to one of the better portfolio companies like GP. Truly one of the oddest professional experiences I ever faced.
