Evonik Corporation Employee Reviews

I don't have additional feedback

at first it was positive and felt good, now i am unsure because i am not certain of a future here it is unclear

Great experience for sure. The first time performance evaluations were really an opportunity to improve and grow as a person.

Review from HR Dept

This organization is very unorganized and good communication skills are lacking.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Evonik is unequivocally the best company I have ever worked for in my career! I love the company and the opportunities it provides its employees!

The leadership team listens to employee input and strives to find ways to bridge the gap, to meet both Evonik standards and needs as well as the needs of departmental needs.

not applicable at the moment

Honest. Looks out for the employees. Not quick to change processes in uncertain times such as COVID.

Review from HR Dept

I like the fact the NALT is open and transparent.

They are clearly investing time and resources into my site

communication and honesty better visibility to what the future actually holds so we can plan accordingly!

Communication Organization Hiring the RIGHT people In addition to communication, making sure employees stay in their 'lanes'. There are way too many people without authority that try to dictate what departments should be doing.

Review from Customer Support Dept

The leadership team is absolutely tone deaf with respect to front line employee retention and recruitment. They treat operators as an unskilled position and do not understand the qualities that make good operators. Upper management in NA region has a demonstrated record of transparent dishonesty.

They need to have less of a top down approach. Drop programs that are a waste of time that everyone hates ( B-safe, 5S, operational excellence belts). These are programs are designed to make upper level management look good, but are only a nuisance to the employees they directly involve.

Don't know who is on the North American leadership team

Medical Insurance, HSA, love the company contribution family of $1.100.00 per year, 401k match, retirement, and stock options .

Review from HR Dept

Excellent 401(k) match, good options and reasonably priced health insurance, good range of benefits - dependent care account, supplemental life insurance, etc

The benefits package is very good

The 401k match program. filler word.

The total package is great. You can get up to 10% 401K match, the pay is great, plenty of PTO, the bonus structure is also good.

The pay at Evonik is not competitive and the benefit offerings are minimal compared to other North American biotech companies.

all the companies min this area and industry are higher paid and have better benefits we work many extra hours to cover vacancies and do feel under appreciated

Not applicable at the moment

Making sure I am fairly compensated for my education and experience.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Evonik must recognize its pharma sites are different from its traditional chemical manufacturing sites. The regulations and demands are substantially different. To attract and retain the talent required to be successful and maintain that success, pay will have to align with the pharma industry.

A true team-spirit and willingness to lend a hand, regardless of job status.

They work hard and will do whatever it takes to get tasks done

So kind and willing to help if asked.

Review from HR Dept

The team is engaged and ready/willing to help the site become the successful entity it will become.

My team is dedicated and knowledgeable.

equal work for equal pay

Communication Making sure they we are not overworked.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Take responsibility in their work ethic and come in with a " team player" mind set. if in doubt I would want them to ask questions instead of just " doing it." I sometimes feel the division between day shift and night shift.

Most people are not motivated to show their best self at work. Most of them are just getting by. We don't have a high performance culture because incentive is not there.

Review from Marketing Dept

Team building supported by the company. Teams for start-ups and teams who have changed over more than 50% of its team in the past year should try and identify ways to figure out everyone's communicating styles and personalities. Communication is key and everyone is different.

For the most part, employees in our plant care about one another and understand that community is also about working together.

everyone gets along with each other for the most part

The leadership is willing to support changing culture. Smartwork and communities are supported.

Review from HR Dept

This site is very diverse.

Review from Customer Support Dept

People are willing to openly embrace differing opinions and suggestions in order to find the best solution possible.

More fequent free food always brightens a day.

Evonik has always considered itself as a "Family company" and I think that has changed a little bit (maybe because of the pandemic). HR needs to be a "safe" place for the people who are not feeling well in the work environment and try to follow up on that, put a plan in place for the managers

Review from Finance Dept

If I hear more corporate culture talk I will quit.

The work locations are in unattractive areas, pay is not competitive, and support functions (IT, HR, Procurement) are not responsive. This results in high turnover that results in a constant level of stress. Make pay competitive and perks to make people feel appreciated.

Review from Engineering Dept

An HR person on site to directly handle personnel issues

My coworkers and the team spirit they share.

Changes and improvements to systems and processes.

Review from HR Dept

Interacting with my coworkers, solving problems, and watching the site grow and mature into the fantastic place it is becoming.

My job is fast-paced and challenging. There are always new and exciting customer projects, and so I am always learning and developing in my field.

Finishing my tasks for the day.

honesty, equal pay for equal work, make our company more attractive to people buy giving wages more inline with other companies in the area so we are not short handed and do not need as many contractors

Work Environment The way people at the site communicate Instead of fixing problems, we like to patch and keep it moving only to have the issue resurface time after time.

Review from Customer Support Dept

The primary issue is the level of staffing in process engineering and operators. The operators must have a more competitive starting pay, the experienced operators pay is competitive, but the starting pay plus refusal to recognize non-chemical manufacturing experience kills recruiting.

Communication needs to be improved.

Overtime ruins my motivation at the start of each week. Most of the time we don't need OT, but we do not get called off because they tend to dig around and try to find a reason to keep us. Scheduling OT a month ahead really puts a damper on motivation and overall morale.
