Pros

Health care, 401k match, employee support, aversion to layoffs, and overall decent corporate citizen. It’s a large company so the experience folks have is highly dependent on which location you’re at but I have enjoyed my time at BASF for the most part.

Cons

Promotions can be slower than desired, and very difficult to not get a “Meets expectations” on annual review. If your goal is higher salary faster, know many folks that exit out to higher roles and then come back a few years later at a higher level/salary.

Pros

Great benefits, hybrid & remote roles, great colleagues to work with. Great vacation /time off. Helpful colleagues

Cons

Reorganizations (roughly 3 years), IT roles dwindling in North America(moving to India), teams can get very silo-ed, “not my role” = not helping you (when you are looking for answers/assistance), currently seeing a lot of movement out of New Jersey (roles moving to other parts of the country), some organizational charts can be confusing, huge organization(can be difficult at times pinpointing the exact team you may need to work with)
