Evonik Corporation General Management Department Employee Reviews

Is a good company to work

My overall experience is positive. I like the approach of senior leadership because we do not make drastic decisions, but take more measured approaches. Evonik also does a good job preparing when headwinds loom so impacts are minimized. Compensation and workload are the most detrimental topics.

I enjoy the work and value my colleagues. I'm excited about the organizations innovative outlook, I see opportunity for my own personal advancement. However, ways of governance that do not work for our BL is the norm, most importantly - the PTO and work/life balance is very poor here...

Evonik is a great company and i am very proud to be apart of its success.

lots of chances to do new things and take on meaningful roles.

we work as a team

Diversity in educational background, professional experience, responsibilities/functions, competencies and skills

The leadership team seems to communicate well internally, which is an achievement considering the sheer number of sites and various businesses they must consider when making decisions.

They are approachable, and practical. I am particularly motivated by Stephens "winner spirit," however Ms. Tully is more of a company woman, she mainly advocates for the business, not the people...

To be honest the leadership Team is overall pretty good. Personally I have a lot of respect for Bonnie Tully. She is down to earth and is doing a great job driving the company.

more active participation in the BL's regional business strategy, launch more pro-business initiatives (like meeting with key account customer, presence at tradeshow/conference , build relationship etc.) and lend big support to the employees on the ground.

Some of the leadership does not find my position as being a 'value added' role in the company. Because mine is an assistant role, the company seems to be making a concerted effort to remove positions like mine because they are not 'value added. Obviously, I disagree with that philosophy.

Taking care of the plant sites they already own. Stop buying new ones. Becoming to big to take care of it all.

Being leaders - plain and simple. The Culture at Evonik Vancouver has been neglected and pushed aside without any true investment. Evonik Vancouver needs to be put as a critical priority with the goal of developing a positive environment with growth and a voice driven by a VAN team for the VAN team.

Base Pay, Benefits, and 401K

My package is awesome, I have health coverage, life insurance, 401k and a Bonus. I love working for Evonik

there is both pension (defined contribution) and 401k

We have great insurance plans, our pay is good and the company does a lot of extra curricular things for their employees.

Salary and benefits are strong, and flexibility for my personal life is good.

I need to be same rate as my peers, I do almost more work than them but less paid

From a benchmarking perspective, there are similar positions (requirements, responsibilities) in other companies with a higher compensation.

The performance rating system could be improved. Regarding compensation, improvement of parity would go a long way.

I do believe I was "lowballed" in my financial comp. package for my current role, I later learned it was below the median range for the role, and I am a mid-career professional. Either way, the parental leave and PTO allocations are abysmal.

I think positions are not graded and evaluated appropriately. It is very difficult in the region to get a fair grading and representation. Colleagues in Germany in similar roles are graded higher.

team work and always ready to support our customer

Result-orientation, team spirit, agility (all in Americas)

Our team is a talented one, and the members collaborate and share willingly.

Dedicated, committed, and team focused.

Generally, they are smart, driven, and courtesy/respectful - perfect recipe for productive work synergy.

inclusion, diversity, and team work

Strong people-orientation, supportive to newcomers

The passion of our people is contagious.

Fast paced and engaging environment.

I feel I am currently required to spend too much time at work. I am currently working to strike a healthy balance, and trying to leave on time more regularly. The hybrid work schedule helps with this, and was a positive change for the organization, but I'm still working extended hours, albeit at hom

get my work done, interaction with my team

Challenging responsibilities that contribute to my professional development and to business success, collaboration with supportive and capable colleagues

I enjoy the challenge the workday brings.

Engaging with others, achieving goals and improving others lives.

The fact that I will spend too much of my day there (I do have a family), and these long hours are not alleviated by adequate PTO.

300 characters is not enough! Leadership, culture, and environment. Poor leadership and lack of attention to culture and engagement has strangled the positive environment and derailed potential for improvement.
