Business Outlook
Pros
Ciba provided a work environment that respected individual employees. Overall compenstation plus benefits was good. You have to look at the BASF corporation now to determine what the work environment will become; at least though the business will be viable or more viable then under Ciba.
Cons
After 5 years fighting weak sales growth and margin errosion, the Ciba Corporation finally sucumbed during the economic crisis in 2008. A very weak senior management team was not able to influence the direction. The company was purchased by BASF in Q1/2009 and is in the process of being assimilated into this much larger corporation with a new and different corporate culture.
