Evonik Corporation Claimed Company
Evonik is one of the world’s leading specialty chemicals companies. We may not manufacture tires, mattresses, medications, or animal feeds, but Evonik is part of all of those products –and many more. While we often contribute only small amounts of material, those contributions are precisely what make the difference. That's because Evonik products make tires fuel-efficient, mattresses more elastic, medications more effective, and animal feeds healthier. That’s what specialty chemicals are all about. And when it comes to specialty chemicals, we're among the best in the world. read more
Good coworkers, penny wise pound foolish management. Evonik has no discernable long term vision. The "planning" views year to year as long term and month to month as short term. Undercapitalization for the last 10 years is taking a toll and viability on the 5-10 year horizon is not good
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The benefits package is very good
What are some of the best things about your team?
My team is very skilled and trustworthy. They will routinely go above and beyond for the departmental goals.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The individual contributors are mostly very friendly and good at their jobs. They hold the place together with the proverbial duct tape and baling wire despite the general incompetence of upper management.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
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.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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.
