Vantaggi

The pay is good if you are lucky enough to be soul-mates with your manager.

Svantaggi

The moral is horrible and most of the exceptional talent has gone. In a recent "new hire training exercise" of over 70 new employees, the 99% predominant age was 24. What does that tell you? For all the rah rah of the Goal Zero Safety Program there is no way that this can be a safe place to work with such little talent left. Everyone is scared to death of the CEO (including his immediate VP underlings). On a site such as Glass Door you are always going to find a few cheerleaders that are either clear idiots that can't understand reality or are mandated by their management to get out there and dispel with all this bad PR. I have worked in this business for over 30 years and have never seen such a bunch of looser managers. The "pay for performance" program is a joke and only creates a back-stabbing atmosphere with your peers in order to stay alive. The floggings will continue until the moral improves......don't count on it anytime soon!!! This can't go on for long as the reliability of the sites continues to decline for the sake of increased stock dividends as well as stock options for upper management. Just like Rome, Lyondellbasell also will fall; hopefully not because of a serious safety event.
