      Community, respect for others, high professional standards, very good location, variety of research areas for chemcial industry, focus on green tech, recently updated IT to Windows 7 and improved access to internet

      Cons

      Organization suffers from "silo" mentality so info is not readily shared between groups. Sometimes too much focus on "going to the right school", Lotus Notes is painful to use and example of decisions made in France dictating US

      Pros

      There is a tremendous amount of freedom to explore and develop ideas. The company is very conservative when it comes to CAPEX for asset development, but it is not impossible to move a project forward - all it takes is passion and commitment to a good idea.

      Cons

      The organization is largely matrix managed. Movement for such an organization tends to be slower than smaller, more nimble, entrepaneurial organizations. The cautious management style minimizes expensive mistakes, but also results in an inability to take advantage of a rapidly evolving market.
