Avantages
Some companies talk a big game and don't back it up. BASF does an excellent job of demonstrating its core beliefs. It treats its employees like humans and appreciates that we're the reason the company is functional and successful, not just like cogs in a machine. They offer a very strong DEI policy which encourages people to be safe - both physically and emotionally, They offer excellent opportunities for career growth, and benefits that are so good that I often feel guilty about how lucky I am to work here. The people I work with are the true joy. Your colleagues can make or break an experience. I am surrounded by passionate people who genuinely want to be doing this job.
Inconvénients
BASF is a massive company. This sometimes the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. This leads to superfluous systems and slow lead times on items such as IT support or launching new programs.
