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
Evonik Birmingham is a high stress site for the majority. Work/life balance takes real effort because Evonik is happy for you to work 50-60 hours per week. Figuring out how to only work 40-45 has been a great challenge, but has been worth the effort because my stress level is now low most days.
