Avoid - Old Antiquated Business Outlook - Recensione dipendente - Data Specialist presso Olin

Fair company, Good work enviroment

Commute time. Limited career advancement

Benefits (Medical/Dental/PTO/ Volunteer) Pay is Decent for Salaried Access to Subject Matter Experts who are among the best in the field. Decent company for straight outta college Introverts, as there is nothing for Experienced Professionals (You will be micromanaged!).

They manage legacy Olin plants and Blue Cube (formerly Dow) facilities differently. At my plant (Blue Cube) The environment is meeting-heavy, leaving little room to focus on real plant issues. They’ve implemented a TRB system, which will NOT be mentioned during interviews (They Lure you). You can’t take ownership of a process area until you complete a demanding 100-question presentation in a 3–4 hour session (have to do it again and again). Unfortunately, advancement and training success often seem influenced more by internal politics than by actual merit (If you have blonde hair and blue eye you will be preferred!). And yes 1:1 meeting with your managers are always one way (A waste of time, energy and resource)
